Nothing to Do

Doesn't it feel wonderful on a day when you have nothing to do? Nothing on the calendar, so you can do anything you want! That's the essence of this story by Douglas Wood, illustrated by Wendy Halperin, who uses eight patterns from nature to show how ideas can change or develop when we allow our minds to run free. In this era, when our lives are so busy, this is a book for adults and kids to share and remind themselves of the importance of occasionally having 'nothing to do'. Quoting from the author's note: "There is a reason, after all, that we're called human beings, not human doings." The book is a delight to the eye to the mind.
