This book tells the story of the “Sunchild.” Her soul passes undiscovered through the world and brings blessings and consolation wherever her small feet touch the earth. She gathers the tears and sorrow of the world and helps to bring the light down to earth. The author’s story is a masterpiece, and no other artist is better suited to illustrate this tender story than Sulamith Wülfing. A wonderful gift book.

About the Author

Internationally acclaimed artist SULAMITH WULFING was born in 1901 in Wuppertal-Elberfeld, Germany and had her first exhibition of paintings there in 1923. During WWII, she was forced to flee the Nazis with her son and mother while her husband fought for Germany. The family experienced a number of tragic events before they were reunited at Christmas 1945. (She was convinced that only the spiritual support of her teacher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, kept her from the concentration camps.) The years after the war were filled with intense artistic activity and publishing. She died in March 1989 at the age of 88.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful little book, December 30, 2010

By 

anon "anon" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Miracle of Tears (Hardcover)

I got this book because I love the art of Sulamith Wulfing and the book sounded interesting. It's a very thin, hardcover children's book, but many adults would love the story as well.

It's a quick read, and you can tell right off what the future of this little sun child will be, and you can feel her frailty increase as you read along. The idea of her sacrificing her health and well-being to help take the pain and heavy burden of grief away from other people is touching. You can't help but wonder after reading this ~ Do we give enough of ourselves to help others? Do we know someone who gives too much?

This would be a very nice book to give as a gift.

A very exquisite and touching fable with the ethereal, beautiful art of Wulfing. I'll be ordering more as gifts for adults that need comforting (not that there would be any problem with children reading it).
