Today is a beautiful and thoughtful picture book that explores the concept of time and mindfulness through the eyes of a young girl. The girl experiences different moments of her day, from waking up to going to bed, and reflects on how they make her feel and what they mean to her. She realizes that time can be relative, depending on her mood, activities, and surroundings. She also learns to appreciate the present and enjoy the small wonders of life.
The book is written by Gabi Snyder, who uses simple and lyrical language to convey the girl’s thoughts and emotions. The illustrations are by Stephanie Graegin, who creates a warm and cozy atmosphere with soft colors and detailed scenes. The book is suitable for children ages 4 to 8, who can relate to the girl’s experiences and learn to be more mindful of their own. The book also includes some tips on how to practice mindfulness at the end.
Today is a book that celebrates the joy and beauty of everyday life, and encourages readers to slow down and savor each moment. It is a book that will make you smile, think, and feel grateful for today. A must read!
