THOUGHTS FROM A QUIET BENCH

The Quiet Bench is a tender and thoughtful picture book from Kes Gray, bestselling author of the Oi Frog and Friends series, with illustrations by Nila Aye. Set in a school playground, it invites readers to pause, notice, and reflect—asking big questions about the world around them, from the nature of thoughts to the colours of the sky. Encouraging mindfulness, curiosity, and quiet connection, this book reminds us that sometimes sitting still can be the start of something beautiful—and there’s always room for one more on the Quiet Bench.
