Newborns and young children spend a great deal of time in a car seat looking up and out the back seat window. What thoughts might go through the mind of these very young children? This book gives a little peek into the mind and visual perspective of these children as they make their way through those first months. They are coming down from their heavenly home and looking up in remembrance. As they get a glimpse of sky and sun and clouds, could it be part of a grand design for these youngsters to be in touch with their memories and "feel the comfort of the heaven they knew so well and the love they've come to tell"?

Spiritual messages can come through other people or through the words of a song or in our thoughts. The idea is to be aware, to pay attention to nature and to our surroundings in general. The hope is that everyone will develop an awareness that messages can be received in a variety of ways in everyday life. This book hopes to inspire conversations about listening and receiving and paying attention. Paying attention to something that is more of a thought than spoken words, something that is more like a whisper that is heard in the mind and felt in the heart.

Marian wants us to focus on love and peace and unity. In this world of challenges, division, and differences, there is one concept that unifies us: love. No matter what nationality or religious belief, parents love their children, children love their parents, people love each other, and love feels the same no matter where we live or what language we speak. This book gives children a very clear look at the ways that we might be different-our clothes, our nationality, and the color of our skin. But no matter these differences, love is the unifying factor, and each of us is responsible to bring this love and to share this love in the world.

These books and activities can be used at home, in a camp setting, in a group setting, or anywhere children explore their worlds. The intent is to have children interact with the natural world. The activities are presented to encourage them to observe nature and the people and circumstances around them. It is hoped that children will start to observe their surroundings, to experience the world from a little different perspective, and to gain insight into themselves.Hopefully, all participants will interact with their natural world through participating in these activities. In this way, and through the conversations with the adults who are working with them, the participants will be introduced to the concept of seeing miracles everywhere in everything.

Marian has always loved trees. She has spent many hours painting trees on canvas and showing their intricate and delicate beauty against the sunset sky. This love has translated into a rich relationship with nature and feeling Spirit's presence in these lush and living entities. She has many favorite trees and consistently photographs them in an attempt to capture their beauty and their Spirit. It is her goal to have young people of all ages look at trees differently-to see them as living and sensitive to their environment and to our interconnectedness and the interconnectedness of all things as a part of our spiritual journey. This book is written in a poetry format as a piece of children's literature. It is the author's desire to share this perspective and to inspire the reader to look at the world differently-to see the interconnectedness of all things and to feel the joy of Spirit in all of life.
