About the Book

There Are As Many Stars In The Sky was inspired to be a children’s bedtime story picture book that took on a life of its own. It brings the reader on a thought provoking, magical journey incorporating the personal wellness, love, and care for our planet. While it is written for children, all ages that need to hear or be reminded about the goodness in the world is invited to meditate on each illustration and journal about what thoughts come to mind. The illustrations depict the children of the world. We are all one. Readers can enjoy, in this well illustrated book, messages that will remind you of what you already know.

The intention of this book is to gently remind people what they already know to be true inside of them. It is a reminder that consistent application of these simple messages will bring a brighter outlook on life. It may reinforce what you and your family are already practicing.
