a guide

I have read and reread The celestine Phophesies many times and this is now going to my friends new grandchild to start the learning process.

The Song of Celestine

This is a must have children's picturebook! The story is written for a child to enjoy but, has the depth to appeal to an adult. A young boy (Celestine), sets out on an adventure, but looses his sense of "direction" along the way; the story takes on doubble meanings as it depicts the physical struggle of being lost in the woods & the inner struggles of loosing one's sense of self. It is the values from Celestine's upbringing that help him find his way "home" both in the physical and spiritual sense. The story is enhanced by the absolutely breathtaking art work of Dean Morrissey, who captures the very essence of childhood with trinkets, nature, and magical settings painted with such realism the pages look like photographs from an art gallery. Your child will cherish this book for many years!

Spirituality for Kids

The Song of Celestine is the perfect primer for teaching young kids the lessons and meaning of sprituality. I love this book for a number of reasons:The rhyming of the words makes it fun to read to children, the lessons presented in the book follow the teachings of theCelestine Prophecy series but bring it down to a level that children can understand and are interested in learning, and the oil paintings on each page are fabulous and exquisite! There is a perfect marriage of visual, written and emotional balance in this book that has fascinated my kids. The Song of Celestine is one of their bedtime favourites! The depth of conversation that ensues from this book has satisfied me that they are interested in spirituality and this book is the perfect way to teach! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
