Miyuki and her grandfather return in an enchanting intergenerational story enhanced by Seng Soun Ratanavanh's gorgeous Japanese-inspired illustrations. Miyuki's curiosity is piqued by her grandfather's morning meditation routine, and she is eager to learn this new skill. Her wise and patient grandfather first takes her on a walk in the garden. "When do we start to meditate?" she asks repeatedly. Grandfather enjoys the warm sun and stops to smell a rose, inviting Miyuki to join him. Their walk in the garden, filled with many tender moments, heightens their gratitude for each other and for the world around them. Miyuki comes to understand that in the small acts of mindfulness throughout her day, she learned how to meditate. No library descriptions found. |

Our beloved Miyuki is curious about meditation and her grandpa is always there to help. But this isn't the kind of meditation most of us have in mind, influenced by articles on what is ''trendy'' and the Western image of yoga and zen and whatnot, discovered by...Facebook users.
Grandpa takes Miyuki for a walk. Nature always has the answers. The murmur of the river, the song of the grass caused by the gentle breeze, the clouds chasing each other. Miyuki learns that Nature speaks to us. Love speaks to us. All we have to do is listen. When Nature and Loves are combined, our existence changes. Our perspective changes. And Miyuki understands that meditation is all listening to the voice of Nature, with our loved ones close to us.
Another beautiful addition to the Miyuki series.
''I see a cloud, Miyuki. A cloud watching a grandfather and his granddaughter.''
Miyuki looks at the clouds again and tries to see just clouds. But her mind wanders.
''Grandpa, does this little cloud have a grandfather, too?
''Yes, Miyuki, and I'm sure that he's watching over her.''
Many thanks to Princeton Architectural Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
