A Little Peace of Stillness

'A sensitively crafted story which shows children how to find calm and stillness through connection to the here and now.

I see this book as a valuable teaching tool for parents and teachers to help children to learn to find stillness and calm. This will enable them to better manage their emotions of stress, anger and anxiety and therefore make better decisions.

A very positive step towards happier, more resilient children.'

' Lee Anton-Hem invites the young reader to think beyond their habitual ways of being, behaving and living in this story - to awaken to the realm of wisdom found in nature and animals. Beautifully chosen words in the story open young minds to connect to deeper meaning and profound life lessons: to be fully aware in the present moment, to actively sense, listen and notice what truly matters. ..' 

Lee skillfully weaves these lessons into the everyday life of the young characters in the story, as they reframe and re-experience life with a new-found awareness ... in a joyful, positive way!

'A brilliant snapshot of the daily struggles a young sister and a single mother have with a younger brother who continually distracts them with his erratic behaviour.'

'Experiencing peacefulness and its effect on human functioning is the core of this lovely story. It is cleverly done by Lee and shows the reader a way to reduce the destructive effect of distractions by seeking calmness to clear away 'neural clatter' and better focus on what next to do.'
