Happiness in Four Pebbles

PEBBLE MEDITATION is a fun, unique, and innovative method of introducing children to the practice of meditation. Developed by Zen master, best-selling author, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh, A Handful of Quiet contains easy-to-understand instructions for this creative, hands-on way to experience our interconnection with nature and calm busy bodies and minds. Whether practiced alone or with the whole family, pebble meditation can help relieve stress, increase concentration, nourish gratitude, and help children deal with difficult emotions.

THICH NHAT HANH is one of the best-known Zen Buddhist teachers in the world today. His best-selling books include Peace Is Every Step and A Pebble For Your Pocket. He lives in Plum Village, in Southwest France, where he gardens, writes, and teaches on the art of mindful living.

Illustrator WIETSKE VRIEZEN met Thich Nhat Hanh during a retreat in her native Holland and was deeply touched by his mindfulness teachings and practices. Since then, she has illustrated a number of his books including most recently Planting Seeds and Mindful Movements.
