All I See Is Part Of Me and other recommended childrens books
Some of our personal faves, straight from the bookshelf...
All I See Is Part Of Me
by Chara M Curtis
"Sister Star, how can it be
That I am you and you are me?
She glowed, "You're larger than you know,
You are everyplace there is to go.
You have a body, this is true...
But look at what's inside of you"
This is a journey that carries the reader far beyond the printed page, a child discovers his common link with all of life. Inspired by Sister Star, he finds the light within his heart and as his vision expands, he sees that same light in all other things.
The Song of Celestine
by James Redfield and Dee Lillegard.
This book inspired by The Celestine Prophecy is a deeply inspiring and poetic journey of a young boy called Celestine, who "Found a path - but lost his way". Through synchronicity, reading the signs he overcomes the darkness, by allowing his love to shine through. The delightful illustrations by Dean Morrissey speak volumes.

Reminding us of the exraordinary power of kindness. This book shows children how one simple loving and kind act from the heart has can ripple outwards and literally transform the world.

The Pumpkin Patch (children's book review)
The Pumpkin Patch

This is a beautiful traditional buddhist story that invites children to realise that we are all one "connected together in a single...great...big...beautiful...pumpkin patch."
This timeless classic rejoices in the great family of all living things. Find out what the pumpkins (who just could not get along!) learned just by sitting still for one long day and night in this delightfully illustrated tale.
Becoming Me... (childrens reading)
"Becoming Me... a story of creation"
by Martin Boroson and Christopher Gilvan-Cartwright
This book in its awesome simplicity offers a wonderful childlike view of looking at the meaning of existence and creation.
It reminds us that we are all one divine being, and that 'love' shines within us throughout every instant, even when we forget. Awesome illustrations.
"Once upon a time...
I was.
There was nobody who knew that I was...
But I was.
I liked to make myself into different shapes.
Lots of different shapes - all me..."
