Stars shine outside a pale blue room; through a flower-framed door, a darting swallow leads the way to the titular path. A child (seen only from behind) at the foot of a sweeping set of steps is urged to set down a burdensome load as an unseen narrator assures youngsters that “you are not alone.” References to a higher power throughout (“the Spirit,” “God’s love”) reinforce that message. Far below, the child sees a labyrinth and enters it; though things grow dark, we’re reassured that “this is a labyrinth, not a maze. You cannot get lost.” Mindfulness techniques—an emphasis on deep breathing, active listening, taking in sensations all around—set a tranquil tone. On several pages, readers are asked to trace the path with their fingers, adding an engaging interactive element. The art is rife with hidden details. Animal and botanical forms are more or less realistic, though washed in luminous colors: rose, emerald, sapphire. The soothing text should lull many overstimulated readers into a sense of calm, though some might see the enticing imagery as an excuse to extend reading time and defer dozing off.
