Families, youth, teachers, and people who love a fun message about life, mindfulness, and social change are invited to join this event with Jaimal Yogis! Jaimal will be reading his new addition to the Mop series: Mop Rides the Waves of Change as well as the original, Mop Rides the Waves of Life!

About Mop Rides the Waves of Change:

When surfer kid Mop sees plastic in the ocean, he gets mad. But with mindfulness, he realizes anger won't save the waves, and he turns his difficult feelings into a party to clean up the beach.

Mop and his friends are back, this time with a band, The Coconut Heads. Mop is riding high from the lessons he's learned about riding the waves of life: to breathe, ride the good waves, and let the bad waves go by. But just when he feels like he's getting the hang of it, he notices a turtle wrapped up in plastic at the beach. Paddling out to catch a wave, he sees more plastic, and he can't get rid of his anger. It seems like he's back to square one. But after an epic wipeout, he has a realization: deep down, under the anger, is love. He loves the ocean, and he wants to help keep it clean.
