Slow Down ─ Embracing the Everyday Moments of Motherhood

It’s an inevitable moment: your child reaches a new milestone, and you would give anything for time to simply slow down. Nichole Nordeman, bestselling Christian singer-songwriter and worship leader on the Belong Tour, captures these feelings and more in her new book Slow Down, based on the hit song that resonated with millions of parents around the world.

No matter if it’s your child’s first step, first day of school, or first night tucked away in a new dorm room away from home, there comes a moment when you want to hit the brakes on this whole growing-up business! Nichole’s profound lyrics in her viral hit YouTube video “Slow Down” struck a chord with parents everywhere, and now this beautiful four-color book helps turn that short video into something you and your family can cherish for years to come.

Slow Down encourages parents at all stages of raising children—whether your days are long and chaotic with little ones running around or if you’re sitting through a high school graduation and realizing just how quickly the years fly by—to slow down and relish each season of parenting. Filled with thought-provoking essays from Nichole, as well as practical applications for everyday life, beautiful illustrations of the song lyrics, and journaling space for reflection, Slow Down will be a poignant gift for any mom, as well as a treasured keepsake.

It is natural to find yourself yearning for the next thing—the next season, the next school year, the next break. Take a few moments to reflect and celebrate the privilege of being a parent and getting to watch your little ones grow—and Slow Down.
