Book excerpt: This book was written with the intent of providing children with the opportunity to identify with concepts such as spirituality, diversity of families, making good choices, and relating to good role models. This book is intended to give children the chance to connect and discuss the importance of love and compassion. Best described by the wisdom of the Dalai Lama, that love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive. Your faith is your faith and should be followed with total respect. If we follow Christian, Zen, Buddhist, Hindu, Unitarian, Ute, Jewish, Taoist, Catholic, or any other religion or spiritual path, we much never forget that there are many religions to practice, and there is but one earth in which we all are given the privilege to live on. Many Blessing, Carol
