About

The international award-winning children's growth picture book series, an advanced course on spiritual growth for children aged 3-7, allows small wishes to take root and sprout. The "Encountering Beauty" series is a set of good books with life and warmth. When you flip through them, you can seem to hear the breathing and whispers of the books. As I read it with my children, I felt my heart soften. "When the Moon Falls" tells children not to be afraid, there are many beautiful things guarding you; "Puss in Boots" allows them to learn to use their own wisdom; "Book Garden" and "Mia's Dream" can Take them to fly in beautiful dreams... For children, the power they draw from books is more important than the knowledge they learn.
