Elephant cries with frustration when a shoelace breaks. Rabbit tries so hard and loses the race anyway. But what about Slow Lizard? </p><p><i>Just like my name, I live a slow, relaxed life.</i></p><p><i>And because I live a slow life, </i></p><p><i>I see many things, </i></p><p><i>I hear many things, </i></p><p><i>and I have lots of time to help my friends.</i></p><p>Meandering through a sunny forest, Slow Lizard's friends learn how wonderful it is to slow down together. Filled with blooming trees and fluffy flower beds, <i>It's OK, Slow Lizard</i> glows with the beauty of a hidden magic world, where we take the time to help each other enjoy life--even when the rain comes.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Together, Yoon's soothing prose, Jian Kim's winsome spreads, and Chi-Young Kim's crisp translation create a comforting, multi-layered literary gift to return to for many years (decades!) to come."</p><p><b>--Terry Hong, Shelf Awareness, Starred Review</b></p><br><br><p>"Textural illustrations in soft colors depict the narrative in spreads that invite long pauses, emphasizing Slow Lizard's mindfulness.... The reassuring, encouraging narrative has a gentle tone, and the closing point, that 'rain will always stop, and the sky will always clear up, ' is a useful one for kids experiencing big emotions. A quiet book with a meaningful message, winsomely told."</p><p><b>--Shelle Rosenfeld, <i>Booklist</i></b></p><br><br><p>"With lovely illustrations, tons of warmth, and even more heart, this book shines with friendship and the secret to truly enjoying life."</p><p><b>--Tonja Drecker, Bookworm for Kids</b></p><br><br><p>"Kim's rich colored-pencil illustrations, in a sweet pastel palette, portray the adorable friend group enjoying tea, apples, and picture books with peaceful smiles in their forest home. Readers and nonreaders alike will surely love quietly enjoying the lovingly rendered, abundant details in the combination of full spreads, Slow Lizard and Little Bird's teatime on giant, pillowy peonies, in particular. Comforting as a cup of flower tea shared with a friend."</p><p><b><i>--Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><br><br><p>"Oh, wow! This book's beautiful illustrations and mindful message inspired me to take a slow, deep breath on every page. It's a picture-perfect reminder to slow down when anxiety creeps in. And not only does it reclaim the word 'slow' as a positive quality, it shows readers how special it is to befriend those who are different from you. I also loved the center-set poetic text, which took my hand and led me on a leisurely stroll from cover to cover." </p><p><b>--Mary, Raven Book Store (Lawrence, KS)</b></p><p></p><br>
