Malá holčička, hlavní postava knížky Malá bojovnice, nás provádí celým dnem a připomíná nám, co je v životě důležité, nač bychom neměli zapomínat, ale k čemu bychom měli vést své děti – být vděční, ale také odhodlaní. Všímat si svého okolí, rozvíjet tělo i mysl, být laskaví, štědří a přátelští. Není to princezna, ale odvážná dívenka, která dokáže vylézt na strom, tančit ve větru, chránit slabé, ale také vést své silné spolubojovníky. Pro všechny silné a odvážné ženy, malé či velké. Svět potřebuje víc malých bojovnic!
ForeWord Book of the Year Bronze Medalist What can you hear when you are completely silent? Is that the wind blowing? Birds chirping? Sun shining? World whirling? Maybe a car engine or faraway plane? Maybe kids laughing or playing tag? Be still. Listen. Focus on the now. What do you hear? By paying attention to what is otherwise lost in our noisy world, you can develop your imagination and curiosity and learn a lot more about yourself. Beautifully illustrated and gently written, Silence encourages children to stop, listen, and reflect on their experiences and the world around them. Using qualities of mindfulness and peaceful meditation, readers are asked to pay attention to what otherwise gets lost in our noisy environment. By centering oneself in the present and listening to those sounds, children can learn to become more self-aware and comfortable with their own thoughts and feelings, and use all this as a means to develop imagination and curiosity. Silence may even help children learn a little more about themselves.
