In this 2011, illustrated book, children explore the meaning of mindfulness and achieving “true happiness” by bringing all of your attention to whatever you’re doing at that moment.

Summary: Monkey asks Panda what he does to seem so happy and peaceful all the time, and Panda replies that he brings his attention to whatever he is doing at a given time, whether it is eating, walking, or resting.
