Milo and the Thoughts That Tumble

Written by Patrick Haven

Illustrated by Alfian Dwi Anugerah

Overview

Milo begins to notice that his thoughts don't always stay still. Some feel loud, some feel fast, and some seem to appear on their own. As he learns to slow down and pay attention, Milo starts to understand that thoughts can be noticed without needing to be followed. Through simple, steady moments, he begins to relate to his thoughts with greater clarity.
