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.
