All That Glimmers
Search with your eyes, keep your heart open too,
and look for the glimmers that shine their way through.
You can find a glimmer anywhere: a flower growing out of the sidewalk, a rainbow after a storm, a whiff of something delicious-even a puppy licking your nose. When you’re feeling anxious or gloomy, spotting a glimmer can calm racing thoughts or put a smile on your face. And once you begin looking, you’ll find more and more glimmers, and start sharing their magic with friends! This lyrical ode to making time for tiny moments of tranquility is a gentle introduction to mindfulness for young readers, or the perfect gift to brighten anyone’s day.

He never shouts . . .
“Ouch. Ouch. Help.”
And he never asks questions.
“That’s right.”
But what if Frank decides to stop acting like a full stop? What would happen then?
