Here's a quartet of truly stunning books that have been released today by the authors and editors of Teen Breathe Magazine. We've covered the magazine before on the blog as being something that's very much needed by today's teens, as they cope with the pressures of school, home life and work.

Showing teens (and yep, even us grown ups) some simple ideas and tips, and a ton of inspirational quotes to help you be your best self every day, the books are beautifully illustrated and presented, and hugely collectible and desirable little guides to keep on your bookshelves and dip into as needed.

We were really impressed with the approach here, showing brilliant techniques to tackle some of the common elements of a stressful modern life, with exercises for the mind and body to help you take a moment out of the hectic pace to be yourself, take time for yourself, and to inspire your imagination.

Utterly, utterly beautiful - and very much needed right now with what most teens are going through.

"Be Happy", "Be Brave", "Be Kind" and "Be Calm" are published by Ammonite Press (kindly supplied for review).  

Studio Press produces some really brilliant activity books for kids, and their latest "Be" range is full of amazing ideas.

At the start of the year we really hoped we'd see lots and lots of books about saving the planet, being more ecologically minded, or even going green so the first title we looked at in the new "Be" range is "Be Green" by Mandy Archer and Katie Abey.

With zany eye-catching journal-like artwork, "Be Green" encourages kids to do their bit for the environment with some simple activities that can make a huge difference.

Perfect to dip into on your own, or perhaps rally friends and your classmates into some of the more involved activities, this really is completely timely for what's going on with the younger generation who are taking a stand against environmental damage, climate change and our changing world's reliance on single-use plastic and fossil fuels.

We've only got one of these, let's look after it better!

With attractive illustrations and tons and tons of facts and exercises to dig into, this is brilliant stuff.

"Be Green" by Mandy Archer and Katie Abey is out now, published by Studio Press.

There's also "Be Kind" by Stephanie Clarkson and Katie Abey...

This time the emphasis is around caring for others, celebrating our differences, but also celebrating what makes us unique.

Again, this one's full of brilliant ideas and activities that can be enjoyed alone or with friends or in class, taking a look at how we can all do our bit to look after others and be more mindful of their feelings and needs as well as our own (and that's definitely a lesson quite a few adults could do with learning as well, right?)

We really loved the design of these books, with tons of pages to colour in, draw on or note down your own ideas and action plans to really get organised and do something about each topic.

Absolutely brilliant stuff!

The "Be" range is out now, from Studio Press (both titles above very kindly supplied for review).
