Little Garlic: Enchanted Tales for All Ages
Description:
WINNER of the National Indie Excellence Award in the category of Children's Inspirational/Motivational.
"Not since Mister Rogers have we had a work for children that is so purely true, without manipulation and sensationalism"- Grace Cavalieri, Maryland Poet Laureate.
The stories evoke Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince, with a young protagonist "Little Garlic" and his guide "Onion," whose layered wisdom provides a passageway to spiritual discovery for all ages.
In a time when society can feel hopelessly separated by fear and competition, Little Garlic is filled with powerful, soothing tales about the deep interconnections at the core of our shared existence. Rarely has so much timeless wisdom been packed into such an accessible and charming publication.
It is a book that both children and adults will want to read over and over again. Newly published in both English and Spanish {Ajito), its stories are about the power of friendship, the value of all things, finding your inner self, and more.
To allow children to dive deeper into the lessons of Little Garlic, a Companion workbook, Coloring Book, and Gratitude Journal are also available. Each helps us understand how, despite life's hardships, we can experience wonder and peace.
Little Garlic will nurture a feeling of being at home in the universe.
