amp ldquo 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! amp rdquo -Lawrence Rosen, MD, RYT, Pediatrician and Founder of The Whole Child Center

amp ldquo Dr. Frank Sileo amp rsquo s newest book, Bee Still, is more than charming, it amp rsquo s important.

Read this together and be enchanted, enlightened, and embraced by Bentley Bee and his posse of friends. amp rdquo -Stefani Deoul, television producer and author of the award-winning Sid Rubin Silicon Alley Adventures

amp ldquo 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! amp rdquo -Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education, UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, Author of Fully Present: The Science, Art and Practice of Mindfulness

amp ldquo How clever and insightful of Dr. Frank Sileo to use a bee to introduce a meditation practice to children.  His charming book amp ldquo shows amp rdquo rather than amp ldquo tells. amp rdquo   This story suggests to children how to amp ldquo Bee amp rdquo 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 amp rsquo s book, which also includes a helpful guide for adults on how to gently introduce a meditation practice to children. amp rdquo  -Diane Handlin, Ph.D. Founder and Executive Director of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Center of NJ
