The protagonist of ' Om the Gnome ' is a gnome named Om. The tale weaves round this affable gnome who receives a paranormal comb as a birthday present from his grandmother but little does he know that the brush will be a source of the most important lifestyles lesson. The guide unpacks the magic in the back of the gorgeous sound of ‘Om’ and one of the most traces, “OM untangles all my knots—inside and outside!” is each metaphorical for adults as it's magical for youngsters.
In ' Sunrise, Moonrise ' every page comprises a quatrain, which in combination sums up the journey of the solar and the moon, which they undertake to learn the way other folks from other cultures and faiths pray.
