Lushly and humorously illustrated, No Ordinary Apple makes a traditional technique for training mindfulness a fun and enjoyable way for children to learn to slow down and appreciate even the simplest things.

Praise & Reviews “With humor and a light touch, No Ordinary Apple takes us cheerfully through the exercise of eating an apple mindfully, using each of our five senses, one by one, leaving readers wanting to try it themselves! Marlowe has given parents and teachers a fun way to introduce the practice of mindful eating—a practice that might help eating disorders of all kinds, and will help children slow down and fully enjoy their apples!” —Kerry Lee MacLean, author of Moody Cow Meditates “No Ordinary Apple is a book that changes lives. Take a bite and taste how good it is yourself.” —Daniel Rechtschaffen, founding director of the Mindful education Institute “Written for kids, but equally as appealing to adults, this is no ordinary book about mindful eating.” —Deborah Schoeberlein, author of Mindful Teaching and Teaching Mindfulness “A deliciously extraordinary way to live an ordinary day. Thank you Sara Marlowe for a wonderful contribution!”—Lauren Alderfer, author of Mindful Monkey, Happy Panda
