A simple bedtime picture book comprised of 8 fully illustrated pages that guide young minds towards self-respect. To see Things -both inanimate and living- all around us for what they are: things sharing a common experience here in our shared time and place.
When a child learns to acknowledge the beauty that surrounds experience has little to do with a value judgment, desire or price, they begin to see their profound role in the nature of Things no matter how “insignificant”. And from there they can begin to see the beauty in everything and the growth in themselves
