Summary

Imagine having the ability to flow through life's challenges with ease, a clear mind, connection with others and nature, a soft strength that achieves much for the good of all, a channel of pure innate wisdom, emotional intelligence and a sense of unlimited love.Now imagine that you were given the chance to develop these qualities as a child when you were most receptive and when they could guide your whole life ~ especially the tumultuous times of teens and early adulthood. Imagine that not only were you given this gift when you most needed it, but that it was given to you in a beautiful rainbow of stories that you danced, laughed and sang along to with your friends and an attentive connected parent or teacher.This is the gift of the Rainbow Children stories to whom will you give this precious gift?"This is a unique work, introducing qualities of acceptance and adaptability that can elude the best of us in challenging times. How wonderful to learn these strengths through activity, stories, and fun as a child. Linda's books are gems amongst the chaos, offering children the opportunity to recognise their own feelings and to see ways in which to deal with them towards the most positive outcome. Rich are the possibilities of a person whose awareness is awakened to these philosophies in childhood. Simple and obvious as they are in hindsight, so many of us are not able to navigate the complexities of our feelings with ease. These books could make that difference."Paula Mayura, Founder of the Mayura Yoga School"Rainbow Children is an inspired and lovely project which, as an ex-teacher of Infants, I can sense will have a great interest for and influence on children in need of a spiritual input and support."Ruth White, bestselling author of Working with your Chakras"Linda has created more than a delightful story for children with the tale of the Rainbow Children; she has brought the most ancient wisdom of the Vedas into a most accessible and easy to digest form for all ages.De-mystifying hitherto esoteric knowledge, and bringing it into the everyday realm of common sense and practical life skills, Linda has opened for us a treasure trove. No matter our age, no matter the issue we are tackling or struggling with, the delicately drawn, magical Rainbow Children help us keep our feet on the ground and draw on the resources we all have inside.More than a book for bedtime, more than a yoga or dance class source book, Rainbow Children offers a simple yet effective grounding tool for all those who seek to understand themselves and the situations they find themselves in. Complex emotions, lack of confidence, finding our voice, insecurity, learning to trust love, intuition, and our spirituality; Linda tackles each of these in a safe and down to earth fashion that takes them out of the sphere of overwhelming or difficult stuff and into the everyday world of the things we all deal with each and every day, teaching children, and indeed each of us, to remember that for every problem we face there is a simple answer inside, and endless support.Linda has accomplished, with this enchantingly illustrated book, a thing several years ago, when I first qualified as a yoga teacher, I thought would be a long time in the coming. Fairytale, positive fable, activity book, wisdom teaching, this book shows what centuries of religious teachings have failed to divulge; that the answer to our disconnect with ourselves, each other, and the world we live upon, lies simply in self knowledge, and that the path to that knowledge itself is remarkably accessible and straightforward.My sincere wish is that Rainbow Children becomes a familiar addition to every child's bedroom, classroom, and library, and that Rainbow Children of all kinds come bursting out all over all of our lives."Stephanie Bradley Dip Ed, Dip TEFLA, Dip Phil, Teacher, Writer, Storyteller (www.storyweaving.co.uk)
