It all started when…
I realized as a teacher that children no longer embodied an intrinsic connection to nature. Times have changed and they don’t get to wander freely and independently the way previous generations once did. I believe that this is the root of many challenges that children of our world now face around mental health, mindfulness, and even their own relationships. We as humans are meant to be connected to the earth and other species of living things around us.
This book is meant to guide the reader through a sensory-based journey of mindfulness within nature. Illustrated with watercolor and ink, I lovingly designed each spread to connect to the next (the end of one page is the beginning of the next) which creates an immersive moment to that leads the reader to slow down and enjoy the pace. To be still in nature is the open door to a deeper, more authentic experience within it and within ourselves.
While the book is meant to serve as a loving life lesson for children to be read again and again, the book is also visually beautiful inside and out and can even serve as a stunning statement book to be left out on display. It is meant to be a work of art visually, conceptually, and emotionally.
Be Still, Love Nature is a book that can be read, treasured, and gifted. I hope you all get the same joy out of it as I did writing and illustrating it, but I also hope that it stands as a reminder to visit nature, remember to take the time to love it, so it can love you back.
Sunshine and love,
