"In a world full of distractions, this book is an important reminder to be curious, ask the questions, look for the extraordinary, in the ordinary things. It's a book for all ages; surprisingly my 14 year old has loved it as much as my 10 year old. As a teacher, it has sparked curiosity in my classroom, created joy and exciting conversations. Such a joy to read!"
"Awedinary is a beautifully written and deeply engaging book suitable for readers of all ages.
"What a fabulous, engaging book, which is great for all ages. I love how easy it is to read and the super pictures that are included too. It really does make you think differently about those everyday things, great conversation starters have with your children and anyone else for that matter."
"This is one of those books that feels easy to dip into but leaves a lasting impression. You can open it at any point, read a little, and suddenly find your thoughts wandering somewhere brighter and more meaningful."
"It has a lovely way of speaking to both children and grown-ups at the same time. My favourite kind of books!
"What a brilliant book for all ages. The beautiful photography, the ideas for accessible curiosity that take you on a journey with simple everyday things, the layout allowing you to dip in and out, the conversations sparked, the open ended nature of taking each curious thought in whatever direction you want, the learning, the language ..... the list goes on.
"A very charming book. If you can take 30 seconds a day to read a page of this book, it will lift your spirits. I read it with my children and am astounded by everything they observe about the world that us adults might take for granted.
"An uplifting and thought provoking read, the type of book that doesn't take any 'getting into' just pick up, read a page or two and set your mind on a fantastic journey."
"Utterly captivating. This book is both beautiful and fascinating in equal measure. Every page brings the reader deep into a concept, something you thought was ordinary becomes a source of questioning and pondering. In a world that is so busy, this book is powerful, helping us to pause and see the awe and wonder in everyday. What a joy ð?"
"The instructions given are exceedingly simple. Pause just for a minute - and then take delight in understanding the world around you.
Wonderfully 'awedinary' and truly inspiring and something you can keep coming back to again and again and again!"
"I've been helping teachers understand how to "get their kids more curious" for decades. Sometimes it's hard to get curious about the mundane and everyday. That's where this book's "let's look again" attitude on every page provides ample inspiration for even the most worn out, end-of-week educator."
