Description
A story celebrating mindfulness and quiet moments in a noisy world.
The Starlings squabble. The Crows make a horrible din. The Woodpeckers go Knock! Knock! Knock! – and the little squirrels just can't get to sleep.
In despair, Mother Squirrel goes to her wise friend Owl. He knows what she needs, and has the answer. As they go through the wood, he shows her how to find moments of quiet even in the most unlikely locations – moments that can be stored and saved up, so that when it's really needed, everyone can have A Little Bit of Hush.
