From the publisher
This tender story reminds us all–young and old–to be present and mindful in all we do. When Mae the mayfly first hatches she learns she’ll have just a day to enjoy the world. But soon a hungry trout has her racing for cover! As she peeks from her hiding spot and notices some of nature’s most beautiful sights, she realizes she must live in the moment and experience everything the–sometimes scary–world has to offer.Includes backmatter about mindfulness and mayfly facts
