"A beautifully illustrated, lyrical invitation to connect with the natural world"
Beautifully illustrated and perfectly pitched for young children, this picture book invites readers to connect with the natural world and allow its rhythms and patterns to bring peace and harmony into their own lives.
The sound of the ocean, the rise and fall of the tide is shown to be calming, sitting on the seashore or imagining being there a way to ease anxiety or nerves. Elsewhere, the example of a seed slowly growing is a metaphor for children’s own growth and a lovely illustration of the importance of patience.
On its final pages, children are reminded that they all shine like the stars. The text is poetic but beautifully simple and evocative, enhanced by glowing illustrations, and the message is one we should all take to our hearts.
You are part of this earth. You grow like the seed. You shine like the stars. We are all connected to the natural world, and it is connected to us. And just as the stars shine brightly in the night sky, so can you.
