| book description |

Find joy in the everyday with this glorious and light-hearted picture book which asks even more questions than children do! From Kes Gray, author of the multi-million copy selling Oi Frog and Friends series. The Quiet Bench in the playground is the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. It's a place to listen, think, and ask yourself questions such as . . . What are thoughts made of? Where does the air stop being invisible and turn into blue sky? Can the wind blow in two different directions at once? So next time you see someone sitting quietly, why not join them? Because there's always room for one more friend on the Quiet Bench. This mindful picture book from award-winning duo, Kes Gray and Nila Aye (People Need People) is the perfect book to encourage children - and adults - to slow down and start noticing the world around them.
