Spiritual books for children are more essential now than ever. Not using the old Victorian approach of ramming orthodox Christianity down kids’ throats and terrifying them into submission with threats of hellfire and brimstone but writing from a new perspective of living in harmony and oneness with the natural world.
By looking at the ancient sites created by our ancestors - Stonehenge and other circles, standing stones, tumuli and old houses and gardens, we can learn their secrets and in doing so, learn about a world view which recognised the necessity of repecting nature in order for everything - ourselves included - to grow and thrive.
If children are encouraged to see their own landscape as a sacred temple, to respect nature instead of destroying - then we will have real hope for the future of this planet.
