Synopsis

Bentley is a lovable honeybee who does not participate in the frantic buzzing of other bees. Instead, he uses meditation to help calm himself and find inner peace. Soon the rest of the forest animals are joining along with Bentley as they sit, breathe, and bee still! Research has indicated that meditation can assist with improving concentration and focus, calming anxiety, and reducing impulsivity. A Note to Parents and Caregivers is included with information on how to teach children to practice meditation.

National Parenting Product Award Winner!

Bee Still introduces meditation practice to children. Beautifully written and illustrated, I think any reader will fall in love with this gem of a book. I know I did. --Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Love

Sileo's uncomplicated couplets and Keay's friendly art pointedly convey to readers how meditation might help them find peace and quiet amid their own emotions. --Publishers Weekly

Bee Still is a wonderful, much-needed introduction to meditation for kids. In a world where we are all feeling the pressure to go-go-go, Dr. Sileo masterfully guides us to consider instead slowing down and pausing, providing clear, simple tools to connect with our breath and quiet our minds. What a different world it could be if we all listened to his sage advice! --Lawrence Rosen, MD, RYT, Pediatrician and Founder of The Whole Child Center

Dr. Frank Sileo's newest book, Bee Still, is more than charming, it's important. In a world of digital overload, the biggest gift we can give our children is to teach them how to take five minutes and just be. Read this together and be enchanted, enlightened, and embraced by Bentley Bee and his posse of friends. --Stefani Deoul, television producer and author of the award-winning Sid Rubin Silicon Alley Adventures

This wonderful book with lovely illustrations teaches children the power of mindful meditation to calm their busy (bee) minds. How delightful to see mindfulness instructions succinctly explained in rhymes. Best of all, it's all about sharing mindfulness with your friends!
--Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education, UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, Author of Fully Present: The Science, Art and Practice of Mindfulness

How clever and insightful of Dr. Frank Sileo to use a bee to introduce a meditation practice to children. His charming book shows rather than tells. This story suggests to children how to Bee lively while cultivating centeredness and a sense of wonder, much as his previous book on mindfulness, A World of Pausabilities, explored the power of pausing as an antidote to the fast pace of modern life.
Even young children are often stilled by the sight of a bee making its way around, into, and out of a flower--illustrating the natural rhythms of being alive and having a place in the order of things. It is this rhythm of a more meditatively informed life, which Dr. Sileo creatively explores in this profoundly loving children's book, which also includes a helpful guide for adults on how to gently introduce a meditation practice to children.
--Diane Handlin, Ph.D. Founder and Executive Director of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Center of NJ
