No Ordinary Apple
Author(s): Sara Marlowe
On an otherwise ordinary day, Elliot discovers something extraordinary: the power of mindfulness. When he asks his neighbor Carmen for a snack, he's at first disappointed when she hands him an apple - he wanted candy! But when encouraged to carefully and attentively look, feel, smell, taste, and even listen to the apple, Elliot discovers that this apple is not ordinary at all.
Lushly and humorously illustrated, No Ordinary Apple makes a traditional technique for training mindfulness a fun and enjoyable way for children to learn to slow down and appreciate even the simplest things.
Review(s):
"Parents will appreciate the call to slow down and pay attention, advice that's good for a lifetime. For children, the book will open new perspectives on the fruit of knowledge."
"Illustrates the fact that we can all learn how to eat more mindfully--no matter what age you are at or which foods you love to eat!"
"Sarah and Philip show us how, with a simple shift in perspective, something as ordinary as eating an apple can be transformed into an extraordinary experience."
"With humor and a light touch, No Ordinary Apple takes us cheerfully through the exercise of eating an apple mindfully, using each of our five senses, one by one, leaving readers wanting to try it themselves!--"
"Deliciously fun to read."
"It is a book than changes lives. Take a bite and taste how good it is yourself."
"This delightful book brings the playful curiosity of mindfulness and mindful eating to life so vividly my mouth was watering."
"Wonderful! I read it to my daughter and she asked for an apple! And then wanted me to read it to her again!"
"Written for kids, but equally as appealing to adults, this is a no ordinary book about mindful eating."
'"With humor and a light touch, Marlowe has given parents and teachers a fun way to introduce the practice of mindful eating."
