If your little one struggles with fear of the dark or bedtime anxiety, telling them "it's okay" isn't always enough. They need tools.

Juma the Jaguar isn't just a story—it's a nervous system reset.

Through gentle rhymes and the "Jaguar Breath" technique (Box Breathing), this book teaches your child how to self-regulate, calm their body, and find their own inner light. It was written by a breathwork facilitator to help parents turn "lights out" into a moment of connection.

Hi, I'm Mo

First, thank you for inviting Juma into your home. It means the world to me. I’m also happy to share that your purchase does double duty: a portion of the proceeds from this book is donated to the ASPCA and Amazon Rainforest conservation funds.

I know how helpless it can feel when your child is struggling with worry or fear of the dark. That is exactly why I wrote Juma.

When I'm not navigating the corporate world, I wear my other hats: breathwork facilitator and proud father figure. I have seen firsthand how the simple act of breathing can shift us from fear to calm, and I wanted to give children a magical, fun way to access that power.

(The ambitious gymnast giving me a peck is Julia—my daily inspiration and biggest fan!)

My goal is simple: to help you and your child sleep better, breathe deeper, and face the shadows with courage. This is just the beginning—keep an eye out for the rest of the series, where we’ll use song, movement, and the frequency of love to help kids navigate big feelings.

We all have the power to change the world—one breath at a time.
