Here and Now

With a message of mindfulness and meditation, Julia Denow replaces the traditional in-and-out breaths with words and page turns. The books starts with the here and now of self, pointing out where, what, and how the reader fits into the universe. The book then moves on to noticing the big and little things both evident and hidden in the world around us. Finally the book moves on to envisioning the limitless possibilities.

Beautiful illustrations help portray both the immediacy of what we experience around us as well and the grandeur of the the universe and our boundless potential. The multi-racial family makes a powerful statement about diversity by not incorporating race in the message of the text.
