Look Up, Look In

52 thoughtful, whimsically illustrated meditation cards to help you find a moment of rest in the midst of your day, from the author and artist behind the New York Times bestseller Am I There Yet?

Pick a card each morning, each night, or whenever you need to practice mindfulness. With meditations influenced by themes and lessons from the natural world--from the romantic wonder of a full moon to the opportunity to rebuild after a devastating storm--Look Up, Look In: 52 Meditations on Nature offers a reason to slow down and consider what nature has to offer.

Each meditation card (approximately 4 x 6 inches) is accompanied by a piece of watercolor art, which can be displayed on your desktop, stuck to a fridge, or even sent to a friend as a reminder to slow down and check in with yourself and the world around you.
