PS
A grandfather, a girl, a boy, and their dog out for a walk notice the busyness of the natural world around them. The grandfather suggests a break from being busy and proposes a rest on a nearby bench. In the calm, the children notice the value of being quiet and still. Soft pastel shades, long gentle contours, and plenty of white space create an appropriately serene world.
