When I picked this one up, I thought it would be a cute children's book that would give me a fun time and something to enjoy. On the contrary, it really has me sitting here reflecting on how moments of stillness aren't a lack of something happening but rather us as beings being present, grounded and really sitting with our thoughts, feelings and surroundings. Even when you're not doing something monumental, you're still here, still sitting in quiet, observant. Always filled with an emotion, a thought,  love, content, or anxiety. George shows you the importance of stillness. How reflective, healing and precious it can be. The illustrations are the cutest I've ever seen, so soft and cosy, it felt like a warm hug that surprisingly made me reflect on a lot of things while also going "aaawwww" at George and the illustrations. Enjoy the little things in life, those small moments that remind you that you are human, that you are loved and that there are so many things in life that you enjoy.
