Product Description
From School Library Journal
Gr 1-5-This series introduces students to different places, cultures, and folklore. In The Feather in Your Heart, listeners are taken to India and Persia with storyteller Andrew Harvey. He reminisces about a childhood in India, introduces the Taj Mahal and the story behind it, tells some of the trickster tales of Nasruddin and several stories from Rumi, and presents several other learning tales. The longest story, "The Birds Who Flew Beyond Time," is a mystic quest. In it, the birds of the world go on a journey to warn the Creator that the Earth is in danger. It is similar to an avian Pilgrims Progress as they travel through places like the Valley of Despair and face trials that test their character. The theme throughout this collection is that listeners should seek the "feather in their hearts"--the most precious thing to them that will give them strength and courage and transform their lives. These strong moral tales each present a lesson. The storytelling is good, and the original background music suits the tales well. An excellent collection.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA

Captivating and Fascinating,

This review is from: The Feather in Your Heart: Tales from India and Persia [With Trading Cards and Poster] (Audio Cassette)
Andrew Harvey has a beautiful voice and the stories that he tells about his childhood in India are fascinating. I was captivated by his stories. They are very spiritual and offer many insights and wonderful lessons for children as well as adults.

inspiration for children (and others),
By Pearl Olson (Winchester, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Feather in Your Heart: Tales from India and Persia [With Trading Cards and Poster] (Audio Cassette)
This has got to be one of the best items available for children to delight in and think deeply about our world and their lives in it. If children can really accept the idea of a feather in their hearts as their own innate wisdom and learn to be in tune with and trust in that, they are bound to become confident and caring people. Andrew Harvey's voice carries the message with intensity and passion unequaled in today's audio market for children. A wonderful counterbalance to the speed and violence of computer games and TV!
