Description
Book Synopsis
Discover namaste's many meanings in a simple, lyrical text, paired with a charmingly detailed visual narrative about a little girl's kindness. Namaste calms your heart when things aren't going right.Namaste is saying "You matter."
What is namaste? It's found in a smile, a friendship, a celebration. It exists in silence; it can be said when you're happy or when you're feeling low. For one small girl in a bustling city, namaste ("I bow to you") is all around her as she and her mother navigate a busy marketplace--and when she returns with a little plant and chooses to give it to an elderly neighbor, it can be seen in the caring bond between them. In a sweet, universal text, debut author Suma Subramaniam shines a light on a word with significance far beyond yoga class, while artist Sandhya Prabhat makes the concept of mindfulness come alive in delightful illustrations likely to draw children in again and again.

Makes a great gift - 2 years ago
Long ago, I heard the word 'namaste' for the first time when I attended a yoga class. I was told by the teacher that it meant,"The light in me sees the light in you." I love that writer Suma Subramaniam (Candlewick Press, 2022) created a beautiful, lyrical picture book about the many meanings of namaste. My favorite picture books are those about kindness. I believe if each person did a small act, the world would be better. I love following the little girl's journey through each colorful illustration that is filled with the concept of mindfulness. Artist Sandhya Prabhat demonstrates visually the richness of a beautiful word that can be a way of living, a greeting, and a blessing, all at once. This is a sweet and special book. (DZ)
