The class cheers after Ruthie Rose shows off her bag full of treasures, but Lily-May can’t stop her heart from racing when she pulls out a single piece of paper from hers. “Take a deep breath, Lily-May!” her grandmother would say. “Hold it. Count to three.” And soon the class is rapt as Lily-May explains about “joywalking”—a time to listen and think, wander and roam, explore ideas and notice—then proudly leads them all outside to take a joywalk of their own.
