It's OK, Slow Lizard
by Yeorim Yoon
Age Range: 6-8
“Just like my name,
I live a slow, life.
And because I live a slow life,
I see many things,
I hear many things, and I have lots of time to help my friends. ”
Slow Lizard always manages to find a solution to help his forest friends, whether it’s combatting Little Bird’s anxiety, dissipating Elephant’s anger, consoling Rabbit when he makes a mistake or calming down mischievous Monkey’s mood, Slow Lizard always has the answer.
This charming book by Korean author Yeorim Yoon, translated by Chi-Young Kim, and combined with Jian Kim’s soft palette of coloured-pencil illustrations that enhance the straightforward text, demonstrates the importance of kindness and friendship. Slow Lizard develops mindful ways to help his friends – Monkey is calmed down by reading a book together, Little Bird is offered some flower tea to soothe her nerves and Elephant is shown how to cloud-watch. This is a lovely, gentle tale about helping others.
