Description
Lily-May and her best friend, Ruthie Rose, discover the magic of \"joywalking\" in this gentle and inspirational tale about mindfulness and finding joy in the everyday.
Today is the day that Lily-May and her best friend, Ruthie Rose, will be sharing items from their Bag of Y-O-U. The class cheers after Ruthie Rose shows off her bag full of treasures, but Lily-May can't stop her heart from racing when she pulls out a single piece of paper from hers.
\"Take a deep breath, Lily-May!\" her grandmother would say. \"Hold it. Count to three.\" And soon the class is rapt as Lily-May explains about \"joywalking\"—a time to listen and think, wander and roam, explore ideas and notice—then proudly leads them all outside to take a joywalk of their own.
