Patience (A Slow Down Book)

Patience... is a gentle, beautifully illustrated reminder that not everything happens in an instant. From Rachel Williams, author of Slow Down, and illustrator Leonie Lord, comes a thoughtful exploration of nature’s rhythms and the rewards of waiting.

Whether it's watching toast brown, waiting for the school bus, or hoping for spring’s return, this book helps children discover that so much happens in the quiet moments in between. From barn owls hunting at dusk to trees bearing fruit in due time, every page reveals that change takes time, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Readers will uncover how long it takes for sunlight to travel to Earth, a nymph to earn its wings, or a tortoise to complete its life journey. With each moment of waiting, something wonderful is unfolding. Perfect for encouraging mindfulness, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation of life's slow and meaningful processes.
