If you can get very quiet and far from loud and intrusive noises, you can focus your attention and hear a whole new world of sounds: the wind, the waves, and the kite in the air. You can imagine what the stars, birds, and trees are saying. You can listen to your breath and monitor the events of the four seasons. All this and more — just from being still.
This wonderful book developed by a studio of artists and designers in Barcelona is for children four through eight years of age. It makes a good case for silence and being really present with our bodies, the natural world, the seasons, and the reports of the senses. Magination Press is an imprint of the American Psychological Association.
