Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Daddy would like me to be busy from morning to night.
But today, doing nothing is exactly what I want to do!

Clara is tired of her hectic schedule. All she wants to do is listen to the wind, count the clouds, and get lost in the magic of doing nothing. Why won't her dad understand? Nothing at All! is an ode to the joys and wonders that can come from slowing down and living in the moment.
