Elmer's Walk

Elmer is enjoying his walk: smelling the flowers, watching the clouds, listening to the waterfall. But each time he points out one of these lovely things to the other animals, they all say they don't have time to stop. Luckily Wilbur arrives at last and shares Elmer's enjoyment in the stars.

Taking his time, Elmer notices all the amazing things on his walk. But can he share the gifts of mindfulness with any of the other animals?

Elmer's Walk is a delightful journey with Elmer as he enjoys the simple pleasures of life—smelling the flowers, watching the clouds, and listening to the soothing sounds of a waterfall.

However, each time Elmer points out one of these lovely things to the other animals he encounters, they all say they don't have time to stop. They're far too busy with their own routines.

Fortunately, Wilbur arrives and shares in Elmer's enjoyment of the stars, highlighting the beauty of taking a moment to appreciate the world around us.

This book is a celebration of mindfulness by the master-storyteller David McKee, reminding us of the importance of slowing down and enjoying life's simple pleasures.
