Can You See It? by Susan Verde is praised for its ability to introduce mindfulness to young readers, with a focus on seeing the world in new ways. Verde uses accessible examples to explain the concept, complemented by Perdomo's digital art which employs bright colours to match the joyful tone. The illustrations, described as having a folk art flavour, effectively convey a sense of wonder in everyday observations, helping to distinguish between merely looking at something and truly seeing it.
