Sylvia Finds a Way

- Blurb -

Age range 6 to 9The story of how one small creature can have a powerful effect for her and her friends using the power of restraint, kindness, and respect. Sylvia is as small as your pinky finger and as slow as a. . . slug! She can' t run or jump or fly like her animal friends. They hatch a plot to sneak into the bountiful garden. But Sylvia has her own way of doing things - one that will make all the difference. ' Shaw' s evocative descriptions of the flora and fauna will engage young readers and the author' s note gives factual information about slugs and their value to the garden' s ecosystem. Lee' s mixed-media illustrations have a sophisticated palette with an aesthetic that grown-up fans of Anna Rifle Bond will appreciate. The balance between boisterous action and meditative zen makes this title a standout among yoga picture books. A fun, frolicking tale, and welcome addition to picture book collections, that sneaks in an etiquette lesson without feeling overly didactic.
