From the author of the Caldecott Honor-winning NOODLES ON A BICYCLE comes a poetic celebration of doing... not much at all.

Have you ever felt like becoming a perch for passing birds? Or curling into the corneriest corner you can find? Maybe you’ve imagined yourself as a sleepy monument or even a sea sponge at the bottom of the ocean. If you have, then you’re ready to discover the magic of doing nothing at all.

Told in Kyo Maclear's signature lyrical voice, here is a funny ode to the lost art of loafing. In a world that often celebrates productivity, this audiobook reminds us of the quiet, necessary joy of simply being. It's perfect for idlers of all ages--because who doesn’t need a little inactivity now and then?

Kritikerstimmen

★ "The prose has a refreshing directness, whether it’s playful, irreverent or quietly philosophical. Focused around paying attention and playing along, this singular slow-down book models how doing nothing can feel utterly worthwhile." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Gratifying permission to pause and dwell in the 'very quiet quiet.'" —Kirkus Reviews

"Maclear offers playful ways of slowing down the body and mind, resulting in a thoughtful, refreshing celebration of rest and renewal." —The Horn Book

"A gentle celebration of slowing down....This charming picture book reminds readers that rest can be meaningful too, which is an important message for anyone to receive but especially children." —Booklist
