As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “The Power of Meditation” by Kamesha & Zachary Seagle.
In a world where emotions can often feel overwhelming, “The Power of Meditation” emerges as a vital resource for children. This beautifully illustrated children’s book encourages young readers to reflect on their actions and understand how their behavior can trigger anger in others. By fostering self-awareness, the book empowers children to take responsibility for their emotions and actions, promoting a culture of empathy and understanding from an early age.
One of the key themes of the book is the importance of seeking guidance from parents or trusted adults when conflicts arise. It emphasizes that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a step towards resolution and growth. Through relatable scenarios, children learn that discussing their feelings and seeking advice can lead to healthier outcomes, reinforcing the idea that communication is essential in managing emotions.
Meditation is presented as a powerful tool for emotional regulation. The book introduces children to the practice of deep breathing, illustrating how simple techniques can help them stay calm in challenging situations. By taking a moment to breathe deeply, children can center themselves, allowing their hearts and minds to connect. This connection fosters a sense of peace and clarity, enabling them to respond to anger with love and understanding rather than frustration.
Ultimately, “The Power of Meditation” by Kamesha & Zachary Seagle serves as a gentle reminder that meditation can help children release their pain and cultivate love in their hearts. By encouraging young readers to embrace mindfulness, the book not only equips them with practical skills for managing anger but also nurtures their emotional well-being. As they learn to meditate, children discover the profound connection between their heart, mind, body, and breath, paving the way for a more harmonious and compassionate future.
