It’s hard to explain why I love this one, but I’ll try. It starts with you, the reader, then expands outward all the way into space, before collapsing inward all the way back to you. The explanation of it as a meditation with words and page turns taking the place of breaths made a lot of sense afterwards. A lovely, grounding work. I am grateful for an experience that can so succinctly put my existence into perspective.

Charming picture book about noticing little things in the moment from yourself to things happening around you.

The team who created the award-winning picture book Windows returns with a look at mindfulness. The book walks readers through a different way to view their own place in the world. It closely examines the ground under our feet and what is happening all around us at any given time, like rain collecting in a cloud. Animals around us are living their lives. We are on a planet spinning in space. New friends are waiting and new connections are being formed. And you, you are becoming something too!
Denos writes in a poetic manner that draws lovely connections between us and our entire environment. She places the reader right in this moment, acknowledging the changes happening all around us and the fact that we ourselves are changing too. This is a book that looks at us as individuals but even more as part of something much larger than ourselves. The illustrations by Goodale are dramatic and impactful. Her diverse cast of characters travel through spinning space along with the reader, enjoying the stars, nature and community along the way.
Inclusive and universal, this book invites you to think differently. Appropriate for ages 3-6.

A good reminder about mindfulness, to notice the world around us and to appreciate the here and now.
