“Two cuddly koalas enjoy a chilly, snowy day with mindfulness, observing the weather, wildlife, and landscape with curiosity, but not judgment. They watch, listen, play, and wonder at the world, and then take a break to meditate. Gentle word choice leads young readers from page to page while the cute illustrations evoke peacefulness.”
Description
Cuddle up with this playful, warm tale of discovery and winter wonder that will introduce mindfulness and delight your children.
Zen and Bodhi are two koala bears on a snowy day, out to learn about the world. Where does snow come from? Where does wind go? Lively verses are full of mischievous fun as Zen and Bodhi explore their world; rhythm and rhyme introduce the concept of impermanence to the very young in this magical, cozy bedtime story. The two koalas sniff, taste, hear, feel, and see, exploring their senses and the world around them. Gorgeous illustrations capture the wide-eyed awe of children in snowfall in vibrant color.
