It moves forward, moves faster, and keeps going-without noticing the toll of never stopping. Over time, the story invites readers to consider something often overlooked: that rest is not failure, and pausing is a skill.This book does not scold speed.It does not demand stillness.It simply makes room for stopping.The Runner is especially well suited for: - Children ages 4-8- Shared reading with parents, caregivers, and educators- Social-emotional learning and mindfulness settings- Classrooms, therapy spaces, and bedtime readingChildren often recognize themselves in the motion.Adults often recognize themselves in the exhaustion.At its heart, The Runner offers a quiet truth: Stopping is not giving up.It is how listening begins.The Runner is the second book in The Quiet Shapes, a four-book series exploring allowing, stopping, waiting, and relating-one calm story at a time.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/824/543/9798245439228_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.99", "online_price" : "15.99", "our_price" : "15.99", "club_price" : "15.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
