About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is spinning in circles, whether from physical overstimulation, a racing mind, or the weight of a busy day. It acts as a gentle anchor, inviting children to stop and notice the physical world exactly as it is right now. Rather than telling a story, it provides a guided meditation that helps ground young readers in their own bodies and environments. Through lush, swirling illustrations and rhythmic prose, Julia Denos explores themes of gratitude, presence, and interconnectedness. It is perfect for children ages 4 to 7 who may struggle with anxiety or bedtime restlessness. Parents will appreciate how the book transforms a shared reading moment into a practical tool for emotional regulation, teaching kids that even in a fast-moving world, they have the power to simply be.
