“With simple language and a sense of wonder, Barbara Berger invites young readers to discover the light within themselves—and to recognize that same light in others. It's a beautiful introduction to kindness, empathy, and inner peace, reminding children (and the adults reading with them) that they are already connected, already enough, and never alone in this universe.”

Trees … Oceans … Laughter … You!
