Product Description
by Paul Stewart (Author), Jane Porter (Illustrator)
The Starlings are squabbling
the Crows are making a terrible din -
it's SO NOISY the Squirrel babies just CAN'T sleep.
Squirrel knows there's only one thing to do. She must ask Owl for help...
And so begins a magical woodland journey with Owl's amazing Silence Catcher. Owl and Squirrel discover the hush inside a hollow tree...the stillness when an acorn drops...the silence between the lightning's flash and the thunder's roll. They capture pockets of peace, moments of stillness, bubbles of silence...and Owl puts them all together for Squirrel.
Now, when Squirrel goes back home to her babies, could there be A Little Bit of Hush?
This beautiful picture book encourages mindfulness, awareness of nature and ways to find peace and stillness in our noisy world.
