Part poem, part prose, Your World is a journey through childhood from birth. It is a response to some daunting questions: How do we make sense of historical trauma, of the pangs of anguish of growing up, and of facing disappointments in our own little universes?

Your World acts as a reminder that we have what it takes to be a source of stability and compassion for our children, for ourselves and for those who matter dearly to each of us.

Magnificently illustrated, savor the moments you have with the text allowing it, ultimately to soothe you and to bring you peace of mind.

“Your World is breathtakingly beautiful. It has the effect of letting warm sunshine into a darkened room. It is part a work of writing, part a work of art, and all a work of soul. Love leaps off of every page, and to experience this book is to take an emotional journey that is fueled by joy and that ends up with hope.” -David Hackam, MD, Surgeon-In-Chief, Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital

“A beautiful and important book. As the reader is gently invited to grapple with some of the more tragic moments in our history, as well as the challenges we face in our interactions with others, the author lovingly reassures us that we can navigate even the most difficult experiences when we are securely attached, comforted, and connected to others. Everything in life’s more manageable when we don’t have to face it alone.-a powerful reminder to children and adults alike.” -LIsa Ferentz, LCSW-C DAPA, author of Finding Your Ruby Slippers: Transformative Life Lessons From the Therapist’s Couch
