Popular singer-songwriter Nichole Nordeman has released her first book, Slow Down.

Nichole has taken her heart filled song, whose music video has been viewed over 30 million times, and created a beautiful book that will inspire mother’s everywhere to embrace the everyday moments of motherhood.

Her book is filled with stories, song lyrics, photos, wisdom and encouragement for new and old parents alike.

In addition to essays from Nordeman, the book has testimonies and stories from fans, practical help and wisdom on slowing down, and tangible tools that inspires readers to enjoy each moment of being a parent.
