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.
