The Garden Inside: Now

By Silk Williams

Every little mind runs off sometimes, quick as a butterfly. This is the gentle story of how a child learns to come back.

Remy is standing right in the middle of his garden when a little thought goes running by, quick as a butterfly. He chases it out of the garden and into his head, and while he is gone, the whole world turns gray and quiet around him.

With his gentle friend Gus the tortoise, Remy learns the simple magic of coming back to right now: press your feet down and feel the ground, take one slow breath, reach out and touch one real thing. And all at once, the color comes back on.

Now is a calm, grounding picture book that gives little ones a real, physical way back to the present moment, at bedtime, in a hard moment, or anywhere their mind runs off.

Perfect for: anxious or busy little minds, mindful and conscious parents, focus and calm, teachers and counselors, and bedtime.

Book three of The Garden Inside. Each story stands on its own, and together they grow a calm, aware mind, one seed at a time.

Grow soft. Grow kind.
