A story celebrating mindfulness and quiet moments in a noisy world
The Starlings squabble
The Crows make a horrible din
The Woodpeckers go Knock! Knock! Knock! – and the little squirrels just can't get to sleep.
In despair, Mother Squirrel goes to her wise friend Owl.
He knows what she needs, and has the answer. As they go through the wood he shows her how to find moments of quiet even in the most unlikely locations – moments that can be stored and saved up, so that when it's really needed, everyone can have "a little bit of hush".
