The perfect book for families who all need a slow day every now and then ...
Let's take today nice and slow,
have a break from the go-go-go.
We can lounge about and rediscover
what we love about each other.
From the team that brought us The Love That Grew, comes an antidote to the busyness that dominates our everyday lives and an ode to the joy and peace of quality time with loved ones.
