A beautiful story about the world rushing around children. I love that the mum stopped and listened demonstrated how to change.

This is another cute picture book about slowing down and enjoying life. It has a nice message, as always, and solid text and illustrations, but it didn't seem exceptional to me. My favorite detail was the girl's panda backpack.
Even though I don't have strong feelings about this book, I highly recommend [b:Lubna and Pebble|40641079|Lubna and Pebble|Wendy Meddour|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529989281l/40641079._SX50_.jpg|63146157] by the same author/illustrator pair. I was probably expecting too much from this book because the other is such a masterpiece.

Everyone needs a reminder to slow down, and children appreciate that slowing down sometimes more than adults do. This book might a little bit be more for hte grownups than the children, but I'm ok with that because it's also for the kids and it's a very sweet and well told story
