A child is reminded that memories can be revisited again and again in Today, by Gabi Snyder and illustrated by Stephanie Graegin.
When a child anticipates a long-awaited day with cousins and grandparents, the child discovers every day is filled with surprises and joy, which can easily be lost if one is not present. —Synopsis provided by Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman Books
“A favorite today can last —
never really past but still today in your mind,
in your heart.”
This lovely sentiment comes to life in Today. Author Gabi Snyder’s warm prose introduces kids to a mindful way of thinking. Her sparse words have a gentle rhythm that calls to be read aloud. Stephanie Graegin’s sweet illustrations perfectly capture emotion — anticipation, excitement and love. Excellent end matter includes information about mindfulness and how to be present.
