About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels overwhelmed by a busy world and needs a gentle reminder to find calm. "Wild Peace" is a beautiful collection of haiku poems that guide the reader through the seasons, focusing on quiet, wondrous moments in nature: a snail's journey, a spider's web, the shadow of a hawk.

It's a perfect, quiet read-aloud for children ages 4 to 8, offering a moment of shared reflection and a simple introduction to both poetry and mindfulness.
