Testimonials

“I’m so excited that this book exists! It’s so refreshing to find a children’s book that is fun and colourful, and guides us with a beautiful story to bring awareness and understanding to how our thoughts affect how we feel, and be empowered with simple ways to come back into our hearts and feel loving and connected. I also love how Samantha has included information and resources to support parents in this journey of raising aware and connected children. Thank you Samantha, for helping us to bring more love and compassion into the world through our parenting journeys. I look forward to this becoming a favourite book in our family.”

Avalon Darnesh Feminine Visionary Leader and Ecstatic Business Midwife.

“I find in education what is missing is students ability to understand and process their emotions, develop strategies to address conflict resolution and become competent in developing resilience. Samantha Starshine has found a heartfelt, engaging way to deliver content that speaks to each students/childs heart. As a teacher, this book could form the basis of a series of questions and activities on developing awareness or a great book to read during fruit break. Parents, use this book to open a discussion on feelings, emotions and strategies and how to process them positively.”

Sarah, Primary School Teacher

This is the single most important concept I personally believe there is when it comes to empowerment and awareness of our emotions. There are endless forms of healing, and ways to express our emotions, and endless advice on how to deal with external circumstances to enhance our wellbeing. But taking responsibility for our thoughts… PARAMOUNT!!!

Jess Skilton, mother of three

‘Thank you, Samantha, for creating this beautiful book! My 8yo loves it and we read it 3 times in a row after it arrived in the mail. The next time he was struggling to hold his big feelings, he ran up to me with the book and asked if we could read it! So bright and colourful and fun to read. The love you have put into it just pours out of the pages!’

Sarah Beazley, conscious mama

This is a beautifully written book that talks about emotions, social interactions and our spiritual side in an accessible way yet with a level of depth that is rarely seen in children’s books. As it is a picture book, I thought it might be a bit “young” for my 9 year old, who is an advanced reader for her age. I bought a copy anyway, as my daughter has autism, and I thought it might be useful to help her develop her social/emotional intelligence. I was delighted to find that she adored the book and so did I. It opened up some great conversations between us and in a recent “book cull” it was once of only two picture books that she decided to keep in her collection. Do yourself a favour and buy a copy..you won’t regret it 🙂
