"Every child is born with innate wisdom... growing up, the stories they hear and their own experiences strengthen the ability to tell between right and wrong. Shri Mataji has created that perfect magic carpet that we sail on- from episodes where She demonstrated courage in the face of violence, to showing us how Mother Nature works to fulfill our wishes. Illustrated from the vivid memories that enlightened minds hold dear, these three stories invite our children to visualize the qualities of love, obedience and courage - qualities that we treasure so much. So, read at night, dream during the day... - prepare to be touched!"
