"Jolene the Fluffy Cow Mindfulness" Book Launches in Minot, ND

Minot, North Dakota, is set to welcome a new children’s book that combines the charm of a fluffy cow with the principles of mindfulness. "Jolene the Fluffy Cow Mindfulness," authored by local writer Tara Emerson, is now available for readers of all ages.

Inspiration Behind the Book

The idea for "Jolene the Fluffy Cow Mindfulness" emerged a year ago, drawing inspiration from Emerson’s son’s Highland Cow 4-H project. Their shared experiences with the cow sparked the narrative, aiming to introduce mindfulness techniques to children. Emerson, a dedicated mother and substitute teacher, emphasized the importance of mental health and wellness, stating,

"This technique is something I would really love to bring to our state to help with mental health and wellness and put tools in the hands of children."

Upcoming Book Signing Event

To celebrate the book’s release, Emerson is hosting her first Barnes & Noble book signing event in Minot. The event is scheduled for Sunday, March 23, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. As the reigning Mrs. Pumpkinfest, Emerson is eager to share her work with the community and hopes to extend its reach statewide.
