Christi Rimes

I’m Christi, a children’s author and creator of calming, imagination-based mindfulness stories designed to help little ones understand and manage big feelings. I write simple, engaging books that blend breathwork with playful characters and gentle storytelling, making emotional regulation accessible for preschool and early elementary ages.

My books are part of The Art of Calm collection and are used by parents, homeschool families, and educators who want practical, soothing tools to support emotional development, focus, and self-regulation. Each story introduces a memorable “breath character”—like Dragon Breath or Bee Breath—that guides children through calming techniques in a fun and imaginative way.

Alongside my books, I create homeschool resources, printable learning tools, and guided meditations that support families in building peaceful daily rhythms at home. I live in Tennessee with my family, and I’m passionate about helping children grow in confidence, calm, and emotional awareness through simple, meaningful daily practices.
