Tumble the Tiddlewump

A Rhyming Picture Book About Mindfulness, Nature, and Slowing Down

Meet Tumble the Tiddlewump, a wobbly, giggly creature who can’t help but bounce, dash, and tumble his way through life!

From sunrise to starlight, he’s always in a hurry to see and do it all. But when one extra-bumpy day leaves him in a sticky mess, a gentle ladybird helps him notice what he’s been missing: the sparkle of dew, the hum of bees, the quiet joy of simply being.

Through playful rhyme and whimsical illustrations, Tumble the Tiddlewump invites children to slow down and discover the magic of the present moment. Young readers join Tumble as he learns that mindfulness isn’t about stopping the fun—it’s about finding wonder in every breath, sound, and step along the way.

Perfect for children aged 4 to 7, this story in verse encourages calm curiosity, self-awareness, and appreciation for the world around us. A tender reminder that even the bounciest children can find peace when they pause to look, listen, and feel.
