The Little Shaman - The Courage of Knowledge #1001962

Some children are afraid of the dark. This is the story that helps them walk through it.
The Little Shaman is an illustrated children's book for ages 6 and up — a gentle initiatory tale about courage, letting go, and the quiet strength every child already carries inside.
Mei was born in darkness. Not the darkness of night, but the deep, silent kind that knows no end. And yet the Great Spirit has chosen her to walk the Turquoise Path. Guided only by the voice of her friend Aya, Mei meets seven teachers — the River, the Eagle, the Bear, the Willow, Kokopelli, the Bison, and at last the Shadow — and with each one she discovers a strength she didn't know she had.
Inspired by Native American shamanic tradition, this is a picture book to read together, slowly, one chapter at a time. A story for sensitive children: those who fear the dark, who are going through a hard time, or who simply feel the world a little more deeply.
Why parents, teachers and educators love it:

• A read-aloud story about courage, resilience and self-confidence
• Emotional education and mindfulness for children, woven into a real adventure
• A Teaching Appendix with space for free writing, drawing and reflection — one gentle activity per chapter
• Beautiful full-color illustrations, perfect as a meaningful gift

Because the children of the New Era already carry within them everything they need. Sometimes all it takes is someone to walk beside them.
