Description

Wander into stillness.

Tuck your thoughts under the stars.

Let your breath slow with the rhythm of a prayer.

The Unwinding Path is a quiet invitation to rest—a bedtime book that gently guides children (and the grownups who love them) through soft moments that bring rest and reset. With each turn of the page, little readers are invited to use their fingers to follow a calming path, pausing, noticing, breathing, and settling into sacred stillness.

Filled with the author's tender, whimsical illustrations and a lyrical, meditative text, this book becomes more than a story. It becomes a bedtime practice that helps hearts unwind, hands unclench, and the body prepare for sleep.

With The Unwinding Path, you will

  • gently introduce children to mindfulness, stillness, and awareness of God's presence;
  • help children journey toward God's presence through the rich imagery of the ancient Christian tradition of a labyrinth; and
  • discover author and artist Betony Coons's beautiful illustrations for an inviting and comforting reading experience.

If the little ones in your life struggle to calm and quiet themselves for bedtime, The Unwinding Path can help. As children trace the labyrinth's path with their fingers, they are invited to slow down and experience God's presence in the world around them. Night after night, experience a gentle, grace-filled close to the day with The Unwinding Path.

Wander into stillness.

Tuck your thoughts under the stars.
