<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><i>Slow Down, Tumbleweed! </i>is a full-color, illustrated picture book for ages 4 to 8 that celebrates the gratitude and awe that come from learning to be still in the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Children will see how learning to slow down gives you a chance to notice and appreciate the beauty in the world. </b> <p/>In our fast-paced society, children are often missing the value of slowing down. <i>Slow Down, Tumbleweed!</i> is about a wild and roaming tumbleweed who thinks the world is only interesting if you rush through life. Then she gets caught on a fence and is forced to slow down. <p/>As she learns to sit in stillness and quiet, Mabel notices the beauty of the world around her--the music of wind chimes, the shapes in the clouds, the long eyelashes of a heifer. She sees there is so much that is interesting and beautiful right here, right now. You don't have to chase it. <p/><i>Slow Down, Tumbleweed! </i>teaches children the importance of slowing down, pausing to take a breath, and cultivating mindfulness. It shows the peace and gratitude you feel when you learn to be calm and open your awareness. This book celebrates all of life--both moving fast and moving slow.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Haven Iverson</b> received her MFA as a fellow at the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas at Austin.
