Beautifully written by Chara M. Curtis and illustrated by Cynthia Aldrich All I See Is Part of Me imparts a message of how interconnected we are with all creation.
Though written for children, it is inspiring for everyone. I found the short rhyming sentences at the foot of the pages easy to remember and uplifting.
In 1996 it was presented the Award of Excellence by Body, Mind, Spirit Magazine.
Most of the pages are created in beautiful color drawings that must have been done on a rough surface paper. That in itself gives the illusion of depth to the art work.
Also in the paintings I love the contrast between colors and the sharp line accents that form trees in the distance, for instance. Even though the pages are almost totally in color, where there is white showing makes these highlights even more effective.
This book is a visual experience and one wants to linger on the page even though the portion of text is read in a few moments. Both the reader and the listener will enjoy paging through this book as I have.
In this time on our planet where we hear about our world broken up into separate factions, I think it is important to show children that no matter what our outer differences, Light lives within the hearts of all. This book imparts that message perfectly! It gives us a view of life to look forward to when we will live on our planet as sisters and brothers harmoniously and without conflict.
Recommended!
