TALES OF STILLNESS AND SPARK

Tales of Stillness and Spark Two pairs. Four friends. When calm meets curiosity, friendship finds its rhythm. In a quiet woodland pond, Terry the Toad spends his days doing what he loves most-sitting still, listening, and noticing the small wonders of the world. His peaceful routine is turned upside down when Julie the June Bug crashes into his life-literally. Julie is bright, chatty, and endlessly curious about everything that buzzes, ripples, or glows. Together, they discover that friendship can be both still and full of spark. In another corner of the forest, Jared the Turtle prefers slow mornings and perfectly balanced rocks. Alysha the Hare is his opposite in every way-fast, impulsive, and full of wild ideas. When their paths cross, chaos meets calm, and both learn that sometimes the best adventures begin when you pause long enough to listen. What's Inside: - Ten gentle, heartwarming stories told in pairs - Terry & Julie and Jared & Alysha - Themes of mindfulness, patience, curiosity, and the magic of noticing small things - Cozy woodland settings perfect for bedtime or classroom read-alouds >From author Jason Clark, Tales of Stillness and Spark celebrates the beauty of opposites - how calm can meet curiosity, how stillness can dance with motion, and how every friendship finds its rhythm in its own time.
