Slowly Slowly
A poetic meditation on how you can see more when you slow down.
A persimmon branch takes its time creating a wonderful gift for the community around it in this charming picture book celebrating the beauty that can be found in slowing down.
When you slow down...
you see more.
You see the day waking up,
the turtle taking steps,
the wind having fun.
You see wonder all around.
In this simple yet stunning picture book, a persimmon tree stretches across every page, changing with the seasons. In the world beyond its branches, a boy and his puppy delight in the wonders they see around them. All the while, the tree is slowly growing, blooming, and creating fruit to be enjoyed.
Slowly Slowly by Toni Yuly encourages readers to appreciate the gradual beauty of nature and life.
