Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some friends rush. Nutmeg notices.Five pets live together in a cosy white cottage: Pip, Tumble, Biscuit, Willow, and Nutmeg, a gentle golden puppy who takes her time. One morning the friends dig under the fence and tumble into the wide world. Four of them race down the hill, but Nutmeg stays behind. She watches an ant carry a crust, a mouse among the thistles, and a snail on a mossy stone.Each evening, a sweet treat waits at home: peach cake, berry pudding, honey cake. The fast friends learn about mistakes and fixing them, while Nutmeg learns something even better. She doesn't need to hurry to be happy. She just needs to be herself.With soft watercolour-style illustrations of the English countryside and short, simple sentences, Nutmeg and the Sweet Rewards of Slowness is a calming bedtime story for toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers. It helps children: - Practise mindfulness and paying attention to the world around them- Feel proud of their own pace, even when others move faster- Understand consequences, responsibility, and making things right- Discover the small wonders of natureIt's a good fit for read-aloud time, classrooms, and any child who has ever been told to "hurry up."
