The “father of mindfulness” presents a hands-on, creative method of meditation perfect for children experiencing stress and difficult emotions ( TIME ). Features cute illustrations, plus useful tips on how to start a ‘pebble meditation’ practice at home or in the classroom. Developed by Thich Nhat Hanh as part of the Plum Village community’s practice with children, pebble meditation is a playful, fun activity that kids can complete on their own or do with an adult. Designed for kids ages 4-9, it involves children in a hands-on, creativity way that touches on their interconnection with nature and introduces them to the benefits of meditation. Practicing pebble meditation can help relieve stress, increase concentration, nourish gratitude, and can help children deal with difficult emotions. A Handful of Quiet shows how parents and educators can introduce this method of kids’ meditation in school settings, local communities, or at home—and in a way that is meaningful and inviting. Any adult wishing to plant seeds of peace, relaxation, and awareness in children will find this unique meditation guide helpful. Review: Simple and Deep - First off, this is not a book you would hand to a child, or even read to a child page by page. Instead, this book outlines a series of activities and thought experiments that kids will love. Kids are directed to find four pebbles: each symbolizing a mountain, the sky, the ocean, and space. The book then offers dialogue to have with the child about what it must feel like to be a mountain--or an ocean. Suffice to say for this review, the magic of this book is in the nuances of these discussions. It helps switch on a broader sense of awareness while planting seeds of compassion. The book is small and beautifully illustrated. Review: Perfect little book - Book is a great little aid for starting meditation. I purchased this for my friend, a mental health provider, as she lamented that she wished she was able to learn how to teach her patients how to meditate. While we have a largely Hispanic population and I attempted to find a Spanish version, there wasn't one to be found and that's OK for our purposes. We're getting the page with the meditation mantras translated, which are simple enough to allow this. While aimed at being a children's book, it's for children of all ages and is just a great simple meditation that's just easily teachable. I love the pebble aspect to have something physical for helping to maintain awareness of the task at hand. It's short and affirmative. I purchased my friend a jar and those glass rocks that are so popular and she was over the moon! I also liked that the book is an enclosed spiral bound book so can be used many, many times without risk of the spine coming apart to be used for years to come. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #118,320 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Children's Buddhism Books #120 in Family Activity #1,776 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 964 Reviews | ## Images ![A Handful of Quiet: Happiness in Four Pebbles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UkzYkHcZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and Deep *by R***N on October 15, 2024* First off, this is not a book you would hand to a child, or even read to a child page by page.

I have taught pre-school through adults - been an educator for 30+ years - and this book is set up exactly as I would want from an educator point of view. I have already started using this process with my 7 year old granddaughter to help her be calm and focus, and it is working. Next I will introduce it to my 4year old grandchild. 1) It sets up the story for the child to understand 2) It provides a physical example for the child to use 3) It provides guides practice for the child 4) It provides pages for the child's own words and art Anyone - teachers, parents, grandparents, child care workers - can use this book and method. The information could be presented all in one day over an hour or more, or (as I prefer) it can be presented over a couple of days which provides time for the child to think about it and absorb the ideas. Then the practice and be continued over a lifetime! Just excellent - from a master teacher - Thich Nhat Hanh - created from a series of teachings he provided to a large group of children who were attending one of his retreats. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Handful of Quiet: Happiness in Four Pebbles - A Pebble for Your Pocket: Mindful Stories for Children and Grown-ups - Is Nothing Something?: Kids' Questions and Zen Answers About Life, Death, Family, Friendship, and Everything in Between --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1652699-a-handful-of-quiet-happiness-in-four-pebbles](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1652699-a-handful-of-quiet-happiness-in-four-pebbles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
