“Even the best listeners forget sometimes. That’s why we practice.” — The Turtle

A heart-opening story of stillness, self-awareness, and quiet magic—for children ages 10–13.

Noah didn’t expect to meet a turtle who could speak without words.

And he definitely didn’t expect that turtle to show him a whole new way of being—still, calm, and powerful from the inside out.

In this beautifully illustrated chapter book, The Turtle Who Taught Me Stillness takes readers on a gentle but powerful journey into the art of meditation, emotional awareness, and conscious creation—written especially for kids who feel deeply and think a lot.

✨ Through metaphor and nature-based storytelling, children will learn:

• How to pause their busy thoughts and feel their breath
• That feelings are like weather—they can pass through
• That imagination and focus are tools for creating change
• How stillness can be a quiet kind of superpower

Whether read independently or shared aloud with a parent or teacher, this story is a soft doorway into inner peace for sensitive, curious, and spiritually-minded kids.

Includes:

✔️ Five full-page, full-color illustrations

✔️ A story arc that blends mysticism with grounded, practical wisdom

✔️ Gentle, age-appropriate introduction to meditation and manifestation principles
