REVIEW: HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MIND-BODY WELLNESS DAY!

Today is all about celebrating healthy mind, emotions, and body, and this picture book is the perfect pairing for this holiday:

​
TITLE: TODAY

AUTHOR: Gabi Snyder

ILLUSTRATOR: Stephanie Graegin

PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman Books/2024

​OPENING LINES:
 
Today takes forever…
when you’re counting weeks to summer,
counting days to your trip,
counting hours until you’ll see Pop-pop and your cousins again.

This sweet book is all about certain moments (usually ones you don’t enjoy) that seem to take forever, but others (usually ones you do enjoy) that seem to go so quickly. Who can’t relate to that? Gabi Snyder’s lyrical text and Stephanie Graegin’s darling illustrations depict a story of a child who grapples with the concept of time and themes of mindfulness as they anticipate and then experience a family vacation. Complete with back matter that includes steps for how to appreciate the “here and now,” this book has something for everyone. Love it!
