Synopsis
Debut author Kerry Docherty reminds us that even when we are having a bad day, just imagining that somewhere, right now, something beautiful is happening can bring a feeling of calm.
When Alma is experiencing the lows of unexpected disappointment, her mom offers her the wise advice that she just might feel better if she closes her eyes and pictures something beautiful that's happening in nature.
Inspired by the current pandemic, this book is a relevant but timeless reminder that somewhere in the world something beautiful is happening. Maybe it's a baby whale being born, or perhaps it's the sun coming out on a cloudy day; right now our resilient world is making something incredible happen.

Reviews
K-Gr 4-Docherty's debut picture book is about how a family of four deals with a variety of difficult emotions that occur throughout their day. Alma is scared of the storm. Her younger brother is mad because his blocks fell over. Their dad is sad because his mother passed away, and their mom is tired because of all the work she has to do. Each family member is able to help one another by using a technique that begins with a deep breath. They are then told to imagine something beautiful they think is happening in the world. The artwork depicts a loving family. Outdoor scenery includes views of a pretty yard, an ocean, and an open plain where giraffes wander under a pink sky. VERDICT Whether children are reading this book or listening to it, they are bound to envision their own positive thoughts for the next time they are processing difficult emotions. A creative addition for use in story times or in the classroom, across a wide range of ages.Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake P. L., Alta.α(c) Copyright 2011.
