Product Description
Deep down, inside our bodies, lives the soul. No one has ever seen it, but we all know it's there. There is a 'soul bird' who lives inside us all. This special bird opens and closes the drawers of our soul, in which we keep all our feelings. There are drawers for our innermost secrets, but also places where we hide away our happiness, anger, joy, jealousy and sorrows. The soul bird has the keys to these drawers, and can open them when we ask. But sometimes the soul bird seems to disobey our wishes, and tolerance turns to fear, or calm turns to anger. Perhaps we don't listen to our soul bird often enough. Indeed, some of us only hear it once in a lifetime. We should try, maybe late at night, or at another time of peace and quiet, to hear the voice of the soul bird, and listen to what it is telling us. Michal Snunit's "The Soul Bird" has been translated into 25 languages and has been a bestseller around the world for ten years since its first publication. This celebration edition introduces new colour to enhance the beautiful simplicity of Na'ama Golomb's original illustrations. This gentle and poetic book has become a firm favourite with both children and adults. Showing how the consolation and encouragement we need can be found in small, everyday places, it is a lovely resource for those moments when we feel in need of spiritual refreshment. Its deceptive simplicity conceals a deeper philosophical message for us all.

Format:Hardcover
This small book which is suitable for both children and adults alike, takes the reader on a warm and wonderful journey. A journey to our soul.
I think most people will enjoy reading it with their chidren and I am sure that teachers would find it a great help to help our children learn and think about feelings. However, I believe that it is not just for children. It is also an important and potentially influential publication for adults.
As a teacher of health professionals, I have found this book a valuable resource when exploring complex concepts such as spirituality. It can also be used to simply reflect upon ones self.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in feelings. Give yourself the gift of half and hour and read this book. Think about its message. I am sure you won't regret it.

My goodness, this a fabulous book. I bought one for my kids and one for school. My kids go to this book often and talk about it regularly. It is written very well obviously and it has helped them to think.....and discuss so many issues with me. Well done to the writer!

The symbolism within the context that this book is written is fantastic. I read it, liked it. My daughter read it and has not stopped talking about it.
It is very easy for us to forget the inner workings of our feelings and how they affect our responses. Especially when talking to children, us adults often wrongly display superiority. Now, using metaphor for our feelings, talking openly and clearly has become easier for both of us.
Place this book on a coffee table or hallway. Great little book.
