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.
Translation of: Rien du tout!
"This picture book reminds us of the value of taking a break from our busy, over-scheduled lives to enjoy doing nothing. It follows a child spending her afternoon in the backyard in the grass. Her father wonders why she won't busy herself with one activity or another, but she refuses, preferring to imagine, count the clouds, listen to the trees, watch an ant wander by, smell the flowers and the freshly cut grass, and to dream."-- Provided by publisher.
