Bookroo's summary
In a world racing by, two friends pause to embrace the beauty of stillness. As birds dart and dragonflies zoom, they find peace in simply being present. What secrets does this quiet moment hold?
From the publisher
In a gorgeous and contemplative new picture book, legendary author-illustrator Tomie dePaola reminds us that mindfulness—being quiet, still, and present with one another—is a very special thing. Everything is in such a hurry, busy as busy can be. The birds are flying so fast, the dragonfly is zooming over the water—even the trees are waving their leaves. So what if we sit here, you next to me…and we can just be?
