Come into the present moment with everyday nature that makes you stop, watch and be amazed by the tiniest things. Zoom in to watch a hummingbird drink nectar; watch a pea shoot appear; see a little snail as he comes come out to drink. With charming text and real science, see nature up close and let it stop you in your tracks, so that you can truly find joy in the present moment.
Praise for Slow Down: "An enchanting exploration of everyday miracles. Splendiferous!" - starred review, Kirkus *** "This cosily illustrated volume wants us to take time to stand and stare, paying attention to everyday natural events, many of which can be appreciated in a garden or indoors through a window" - The Sunday Times *** A Bookseller Editor' s Choice book *** "Fifty moments in nature are captured in slowed-down double page spreads: a cresting wave, a hatching chick, a bee pollinating a flower. The effect is magical. " Fiona Noble, The Bookseller ***"A wonderful book for inspiring a love of the natural world. " - The Bookseller
