THE WONDER by Tom Percival
HARDCOVER
Author & Illustrator: Tom Percival
Gentle, thoughtful, and quietly uplifting, THE WONDER is a beautifully illustrated picture book that encourages children to slow down, notice, and find moments of joy - even on the hardest days.
Daniel is having a terrible day. The sky is grey, the rain won’t stop, and his shoes are soaked through. Everything feels heavy, and it seems impossible that anything could make him feel better. But then, through the sound of the rain, Daniel hears something unexpected - a soft, delicate piece of music.
As Daniel begins to listen more closely and look more carefully, small moments of beauty start to reveal themselves. Bit by bit, his perspective shifts, showing that even when things feel bleak, wonder can still be found - if we’re open to noticing it.
Written and illustrated by Tom Percival, this poignant story offers a powerful message about mindfulness, emotional awareness, and the healing power of paying attention to the world around us.
A gentle exploration of big feelings and low moods, and ideal for children navigating tricky emotions - and adults too - The Wonder is a comforting reminder that even on our darkest days, moments of light are waiting to be found.
