Nature's Creatures - Wellness Teachers
By Annie Yu, Maggie Chen (illustrator) "Nature's Creatures - Wellness Teachers" by Annie Yu, beautifully illustrated by Maggie Chen, takes readers on a journey with Riley, a young boy who experiences a series of mishaps in his day. Frustrated and downhearted, Riley's wise Grandpa suggests a walk to learn valuable lessons from nature's creatures, emphasizing that animals can be excellent teachers. During the walk, Riley observes birds soaring high above, gaining a big-picture perspective on life's challenges. Watching snails move at their own pace teaches him that life is not a race, and sometimes, going at a snail's pace is perfectly fine. Speedy horses inspire him to incorporate exercise into his routine, finding joy and improved well-being. Spiders weaving resilient webs demonstrate the importance of perseverance and rebuilding after setbacks. Cats, known for their tranquil naps, underscore the significance of rest and rejuvenation for optimal health. Bees working collaboratively for the hive teach the value of teamwork and the joy of shared success. Butterflies undergoing metamorphosis reveal the beauty that emerges with patience and time. Lizards basking in sunlight inspire Riley to appreciate the outdoors and find joy in the warmth of the sun. Bats, accustomed to seeing the world upside down, encourage him to embrace diverse perspectives for fresh insights. Learning from dogs, who live in the present moment with carefree joy, Riley discovers the power of mindfulness and staying present to avoid unnecessary worries. The story comes full circle as Riley applies these lessons to his own life, transforming his perspective and experiencing a more joyful and mindful existence. "Nature's Creatures" beautifully combines storytelling and vibrant illustrations to convey profound life lessons through the lens of nature. It encourages readers, both young and old, to embrace mindfulness, resilience, and the wisdom found in the natural world. Riley's transformative journey becomes a heartwarming tale that emphasizes the significance of learning from the creatures that surround us.
