This is a gift book to honor the journey to adulthood with 42 poems chosen from a variety of cultures and eras. The poems and writings express love, encouragement and support from parents to their teenager moving into adulthood. The cover of the book is made out of handmade paper crafted from mulberry trees, with real flower petals, grasses, leaves and bark embedded in the paper. This old technique is used in order not to cut down trees or harming the environment. Here we will just give one example of the 42 poems by selecting the one by Jean Lamey:

Within you is an ideal a voice of youth and a promise of achivement still to come. Within yor hands are special gifts and talents. Within your mind is the source of your dreams... Within you is the promise of the future, and I believe in you.

A nice and special small gift. The Blue Mountain Press has other books in the same series, like The language of love, The language of happiness.
