“Even the best listeners forget sometimes. That’s why we practice.” — The Turtle
The Turtle Who Taught Me Stillness
A heart-opening story of stillness, self-awareness, and quiet magic—for children ages 10–13.
Noah didn’t expect to meet a turtle who could speak without words.
And he definitely didn’t expect that turtle to show him a whole new way of being—still, calm, and powerful from the inside out.In this beautifully illustrated chapter book, The Turtle Who Taught Me Stillness takes readers on a gentle but powerful journey into the art of meditation, emotional awareness, and conscious creation—written especially for kids who feel deeply and think a lot.
✨ Through metaphor and nature-based storytelling, children will learn:
-
How to pause their busy thoughts and feel their breath
-
That feelings are like weather—they can pass through
-
That imagination and focus are tools for creating change
-
How stillness can be a quiet kind of superpower
Whether read independently or shared aloud with a parent or teacher, this story is a soft doorway into inner peace for sensitive, curious, and spiritually-minded kids.
