Art inspired by the Wisdom found in Nature
"I read, "My Earth Journey," by Evelyn Dean, and then read it again and again. The messages contained in her gorgeously illustrated book are as ancient and wise as the Earth that surrounds us. The young girl's dream odyssey--with playful otters, a visionary hawk and a nourishing hare--restores her spirits and mends her wounded heart. The young reader experiences room to dream in this book, and room to let the imagination soar. An added treasure is the information about plant and animal medicine contained in the back. I cannot think of a better story to inspire children today." -- Jennifer Elwell Comeau, Certified Forest Therapy Guide and Author of, "The Inside of ME."

My Earth Journey was written to help children with the age old struggle
of losing a friend.
The main character embarks on a journey
guided by powerful nature beings,
who bring her healing.
With nature as the teacher, children can find much needed tools to help them navigate through difficulty.
"Your book has a fairy tale quality and the illustrations are lovely, taking us along with the protagonist on her Earth journey. The issue of fickleness in friendships is one that can resonate with many of us, young and old. I love how you use your main character's dream to bring in the spirit animals which show her other perspectives. Dreams can be our teachers, helping us to solve the conundrums we find ourselves facing in life, if we stay open to them. Your book illustrates that concept beautifully, with all of her animal friends showing her that their worlds--her world--is filled with the beauty, magic, and abundance of nature."Former Art Teacher, Robin Ellen Brooks
"I love this! The story is heartwarming and mystical, and the lovely, authentic artwork evokes the healing elements of nature. I love the accurate yet magical paintings of the plants and animals.
