One of the most wonderful moments of being alive on this planet is experiencing that feeling of awe. Something so amazing, so powerful, so, so special is happening around you in that moment and that feeling stays with you forever.
If you've ever gone whale watching and suddenly the whole pod of whales rises up to do bubble net feeding, you know that sense of incredible awe. Those whales are magical in themselves and now you are being invited into their world, seeing what they know to do without any guidance from us. It's like walking through a doorway into a place of utter magic- that's awe.
Chana Stiefel has created a gift for our children who need to know that awe is a thing and it's a thing that belongs in their lives. They get to have awe... they can have amazing moments.
This story takes us from one moment of awe to another and shows us that awe can be found in so many places whether it's art or nature or food or an idea or someone. (I think a lot of us experienced awe recently when the U.S. Hockey Team won the gold medal.)
Talk about a great read aloud. Talk about the book you want on your shelves to grab on those days when life is looking gray.
The illustrations are up to the task here- the whole thing delivers. Never expected to see a book about awe but that's the wonderful thing about authors. Time for a little awe.
