Everyday my son and I walk to school, an activity that he so thoroughly enjoys. Some days we rescue bugs, other days he blows dandelions, and still other days he looks up into the sky and watches the clouds. I really wanted to encourage his "in the moment" attitude and so when I saw this book, I immediately bought it. It is PERFECT. It teaches kids to be in the moment, to enjoy all the sounds (and sights) around them as they walk or go through their day. A perfect read for moms and dads who want their kids to stop and smell the roses!
