Thank You, Miyuki

This is the third book I've happily reviewed about Miyuki. This time, she's impatiently waiting for grandfather to be done with tai-chi so they can have adventures. Miyuki wants to learn to meditate *right now*. Each part of her quest is accompanied by full page illustrations which are breathtakingly lovely, crisp, and beautifully rendered. This is a wonderful book for children and adults alike and would make a super read-together for bedtime (or library read-along). The concepts of meditation, mindfulness, patience, and gratitude in the moment are presented gently and accessibly.

I'm so enchanted by the clean expressive style of the artwork and the gentle lulling lyricism of the prose. This is a really beautifully made book and it would make a superlative selection as a gift or classroom/library book.

Superlative. Five stars
