In-Person: Mindful Kids Series – Steps and Stones

with author Gail Silver

Sunday, December 20th, 2026 | 2:00pm – 3:30pm ET

Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor

New York Insight Meditation Center invites you to the next installment of our Insight Family Program — a series of gatherings for parents, caregivers and children!

We are thrilled to have author Gail Silver joining us for this gathering. She will read her book Steps and Stones, the sequel to Anh’s Anger.

Steps and Stones

When Anh’s friends leave and he feels left out at school, his anger shows up to keep him company. Anh, the protagonist of Gail Silver’s previous book Anh’s Anger, is a typical and easy-to-relate-to elementary school-age boy. His anger, personified as a red hairy impulsive creature, teaches him some valuable lessons about not getting carried away by his strong emotions. By counting his steps and coordinating them with his breathing Anh is able to slow down and take his anger for a peaceful and magically transformative walk.

Reach and Teach.com called Anh’s Anger, “One of the best books we’ve ever seen on the issue of dealing with anger.” The New Yorker review highlighted how the book uses “deep breathing… to regain control during a tantrum.” And Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh calls the Anh’s Anger series, “a wonderful gift for both children and adults who want to learn how to turn unhappy situations into joyful ones.”
