5.0 out of 5 stars
This is my FAVORITE children's book!, Mar 7 2003
This review is from: All I See Is Part of Me (Hardcover)
If I could give this book 10 stars, I would.
I am raising my family with an earth-centered faith, and have been searching since before my 2 year old was born for a book that is simple enough for him to stay focused on through the whole reading, yet one that conveys a message of oneness with the world around us. This book does that in the most beautiful, sweetest way. When I opened it and read it to myself, I realized I had tears in my eyes. It is the sweetest story of a child who is questioning himself and the world around him. By asking questions of the Sun and the Star, he realizes that he is part of everything in this world, and everything is part of him. At the end of the story, he falls asleep knowing in his heart that he goes on everywhere, and everything beautiful in the world exists within himself.
I read it to my son this afternoon and he was totally captivated with the illustrations and the short rhymes on each page. This book will be our bedtime book each night, and I'm sure will become the gift to give to other children we know. This is a must have for any family who appreciates the innate wisdom and beauty of nature and the fact that we are all connected to the world and each other.

A Picture Book About Non-Duality, Feb 12 2002
This review is from: All I See Is Part of Me (Hardcover)
ALL I SEE IS PART OF ME is written for the child in each of us who longs to feel a sense of wonder and mystery. It conveys the idea of being at one with all that is -- with the plants, animals, people, Earth, sun, moon, and stars. This story is told as a poem with beautiful full-color illustrations on every page to accompany its lyrical prose. This book is a keeper -- one that you'll be glad to have on the bookshelf long after your little ones have grown up and moved out!

Didn't like it as much as I had hoped, Jun 29 2011
This review is from: All I See Is Part of Me (Hardcover)
This book simply didn't work for my family. Not a fan of the illustration style inside (love the cover though), and the book doesn't keep their attention long enough to finish it even though my children range from 1-7 years. I think if this book were half as long we would have enjoyed it more...seems to be a lot of "filler poetry" that isn't necessary to get the point across.
