A Tale by Fire: a meditative picture book
Paperback
(Elder Star Press Nov. 9, 2019)
A Path to Peace and Inner Power
Welcome to A Tale by Fire, a meditative, empowering picture book for children and adults alike. It is a journey of fire and light across the ages of history - as told from the perspective of fire itself.
From page to page, era to era, "fire" is defined loosely: a cityscape's glow, a rocket's exhaust, a star's light. Across the ages, it has been our tool, our weapon, and our beacon... and from a grand perspective, it tells the story of how humanity has chosen to use its power, both consciously and unconsciously, for good and for ill.
Woven with hardship, healing, and hope, this strange and visionary tale gently reminds us that we are without measure... and that when we choose to share our light, we can illuminate the world.
This is a BRAND NEW PAPERBACK VERSION - a slightly smaller, more intimate edition of the original hardcover book. Perfect for a classroom, a bedside, or a quiet corner.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a story for both children and adults (ages 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and up). However, please note that there are several childlike drawings of war throughout the book. The intention is for readers, young and old, to reflect on the responsibility that comes along with our inner power... because the next chapter of Planet Earth, for better or for worse, is ours to forge.
