"In Time for Wonder, Cathy Cebulski Sacco offers a book that will never grow old; it is a companion on a journey of mindful moments filled with wonder. The gentleness of the invitation offered to the reader triggered my curiosity. I was drawn to its simplicity; the limited words and the pictures helped to slow me down and go inside. The additional practices at the end inspired me to go off in my own direction and discovery. This is a beautiful book. There are many layers, enjoy them all."

-Paul Davis, author of A Way of Life, Zen Monastics at Work and Play,

"Discovering Time for Wonder felt like taking a slow, deep breath after a frantic day. Paging through, I felt myself relax into the stunning images paired with lines lifted from the song the book is named for. (Don't skip downloading the song, which is included with the book!) 'Ask yourself what makes your own heart sing, ' author Cathy Cebulski Sacco urges, pulling me away from the noise of modern life and back to what truly matters-to that deeper kind of wonder that lies within us. I especially love the Simple Practices that are geared to reconnecting with wonder moment by moment. As a writer, visual artist and mindfulness practitioner, I know this book will live in my backpack, along with my sketch journal."

-Elaine Olund, author of The Invisible Suitcase (poems)

"This song, both the lyrics and melody, calms my soul and mind. I'd like to have it as my 'wake up' every morning. Our lives are bombarded with so much noise, chaos and technology every day. Time to Wonder helps us return to our true, beautiful center. I especially want to share this song and book with my grandchildren.

-M.K. Hurley, Visual Artist and Teacher

"These little verses and images might seem simple, but you'd be mistaken. The phrases and striking photography are the end result of years of practice, attentiveness, and, of course, wonder. Time for Wonder is what all great books should be, a reminder of a different way of living...in our bodies, in nature, in the world."
