Be Still, Life / Hale, Ohara

Starting from the premise that everything is alive―a feeling that is deep and immediate for many children―Be Still, Life draws the reader into a still place where everything is moving. Thought-provoking in its depiction of the relationship between stillness and motion, this is certain to engage children, slowing them down through sheer fascination and delight.
