These books are special. The guidance for the adult, the stories and the artwork, even the feel of the book cover speaks to intentional planning and caring. I bought these as a soon to be foster parent to have ready for bedtime stories but I used Rolling Thunder for Back to School children’s moment at church. Don’t hesitate to purchase these books!

Great books and great customer service
I love these books and their message. I had some issues with delivery (USPS issues not your company) and your customer service representative Timea was very gracious and understanding and helped resolve the issue, so that I could get these books to read to my grandchildren. I will be ordering more. Thank you.

My name is Andrew Newman. I love all things creative and spiritual - especially kids! I've written books that help families connect at the end of those hectic days filled with growing, loving, and learning. I have trained and worked in healing and community building for many years which is demonstrated in the amount of detail and attention I've given to the impact of each book. These stories come to me in moments of clear sight and understanding. They feel like a gift to me, and I hope to pass that on to you and yours. Welcome to Conscious Stories - I hope it blesses your family!
