Reach for this book when your child is bouncing off the walls, complaining that they are bored, or struggling to sit still for even a single minute. It is a perfect choice for teaching the value of mindfulness and the power of a quiet imagination in a way that feels like a game rather than a lecture. The story follows two high-energy friends, Frankie and Sal, who have played every game imaginable and decide to try the hardest challenge of all: doing absolutely nothing. As they attempt to be as still as statues, their imaginations transform their quiet room into a world of empire states, barking dogs, and buzzing flies. It is a hilarious and relatable look at how difficult, yet rewarding, it can be to find stillness. This book is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students who are learning self-regulation. Parents will appreciate how it validates the 'wiggliness' of childhood while celebrating the creative sparks that fly when we slow down.
