Overview
Here You Are has opened a new door into the hearts and minds of children everywhere. Joy turns into questions while a small child journeys through life's most fundamental truths and puzzles. Suddenly, remembering that which is beyond all questions, deep in his own heart, all the wondering about "friends and enemies" - "darkness and light" – "Where do I come from?" and "Where do I go?" – dissolve into delight, and a quiet, satisfying gladness, reminding us of the Little Buddha in our children and ourselves.
The central figure in the book is the young reader himself. The magic of the message comes from the richness between the lines as well as the child-like chalk drawings. The colorful nature illustration and sweet portraits, make Here You Are a wonderful baby book. Combined with the simple yet profound statements, Here You Are also is an ideal first reader book, inspiring both insight and reflection in the growing child.
A high quality gift book with gold leaf title on black canvas covers, protected by a thick, shiny dust jacket, plus the heavy paper inside, makes this a book that will keep well throughout the years.
