Description
Taking time to listen to a bird's song on the breeze. Taking time to gather up the blossom dancing free. Taking time to imagine the deep sounds of the sea. Taking time to cherish you . . . and cherish me.
This poem is inspired by principles of mindfulness and invites children around the world to experience the wonders of nature and home.

This is a sweet multicultural story that follows children all over the world taking moments to appreciate something around them. The muted textured illustrations really add to the lovely feel of this book that promotes awareness and mindfulness.
Victoria W, Media/Journalist
'Taking Time' is a beautifully illustrated picture book that takes you around the world in 15 pages. It would make a nice inclusion to any world studies activities. The prose is a nice poem that would be easy to read aloud. Each two-page spread travels to a moment in time in a far off place. The message of slowing down to appreciate the small things is perfect for our fast-paced world.
