    Empower kids to explore the world inside themselves and let their imaginations take flight!

    You are COLORFUL like a Rainbow after a storm.
    You are BRAVE as a Butterfly spreading its wings.
    You are a force of nature.

    This board book encourages kids ages 1-3 to be curious about the world around them and to recognize the same brave, playful, colorful, and crabby qualities found in animals and nature within themselves. Discovering these qualities can pique their curiosity about the world around them while giving them a sense of richness and confidence about who they are. Beginning with the shining sun, each page intentionally shifts the energy to bring the child to a state of rest and ease at the end of the book, ready for sleep.
    “A beautifully illustrated board book that encourages kids to explore their feelings and the world around them. Offers a great message that we can find the same brave, playful, colorful and crabby qualities found in animals and nature within ourselves.”—L.A. Parent
    CAROLYN KANJURO was a writer and creative collaborator. She served as creative director for Secrets of the World, an award-winning audio series for children featuring global storytellers, and taught meditation, theater, and contemplative archery to kids throughout North America.

    Originally from New Mexico, ALEXANDER VIDAL studied cultural anthropology, and spent time living in Africa and Asia before starting his career in illustration. Travel, exploration, and a love for animals and wild spaces continue to drive the themes of his work. A recent graduate of ArtCenter College of Design, his clients have included the California Academy of Sciences, The Sierra Club, The National Wildlife Federation, and The Monterey Bay Aquarium.
