Over the years, I have kept a collection of picture books for Miri and I. Some are from my childhood, some from my children’s childhood, and some from my inner child journey of the last 42 years. I allow my emotions, senses, and feelings to choose which ones. Some are mainly for the artwork, which is amazing now days!
Some of today’s spiritual masters have written books for children. They do not all resonate with the truth for Miri. I never read a book she’s not in tune with. However, if it’s only 1 or 2 sentences, we stop so Miri can explain why that is not true for her. She gets to express her emotional honesty TRUTH!
When I have time, we go to the children’s section in the library to take out recent books, especially the ones with gorgeous artwork. We do, however, have our own collection at home of pictures books we never tire of!
