I am a huge fan of Deepak Chopra's guidance. When I saw he wrote a children's book, I pre-purchased it ( and extra copies to give as gifts)on Amazon. The description sold me on it especially this quote"explains that everyone we see is our own self in a different form"
I was excited to teach my 7 and 3 year old about this concept.
I found the book difficult to grasp...I was hoping for a more concrete message to help kids understand conciousness...( I realize it is hard to teach the abstract concretly).
so, the book was not what I was hoping for, yet I still read it to my 7 and 3 year old and add a bit of my own message to it...

"Tara sang as she walked with her grandfather on a wide flat beach under a canopy of stars. She was five and a half years old, an age when the world is very much alive. The moon was peeking curiously over the horizon; the waves crept in to tickle Tara's toes and listen." - From You with the Stars in Your Eyes

In his first book for children, author Deepak Chopra weaves a metaphysical tale of cosmic consciousness and the expansiveness of our Being. Brightly illustrated by former Disney animator Dave Zaboski, You with the Stars in Your Eyes follows an interesting conversation between a Grandfather and his Granddaughter as they stroll along a beach.

When Tara asks Grandfather how much he loves her and he replies "More than all the stars in the sky", the wide-eyed child asks "Why?" Caught off-guard, Grandfather muses all sorts of complex grown-up thoughts--not quite sure how to answer her penetrating question.

The beautiful Moon, bedecked in her finery, rises and walks with them on the beach. She answers Tara "Because you came from the stars..."

The Moon loved to talk of love, so she begins to share secrets about where Tara (and all of us) came from and how the Illuminated Ones "...streams down and makes the wind blow, the grasses grow, and the dew drops glow. Our light gets into all things."

When Tara asks the Moon "Who made our eyes?" she answers, exclaiming "Ah! That's the most important thing!"

The Moon's explanation to Tara and her Grandfather hints at the profound spiritual concept that we are, in essence, mirrors for the "stars" so they can see themselves.

My son was fascinated with this story, especially when he saw the fiery, smiling masculine Sun, the lovely feminine Moon and the bright harlequin stars--all "seeing" themselves through our eyes. He was delighted when he noticed that the Grandfather looked a lot like the author, Deepak Chopra!

Discover the magic for yourself by reading You with the Stars in Your Eyes; although created for children, everyone can benefit from the reminder that we're all "star stuff"--inextricably connected to the Universe, permeated with brilliant, boundless eternal Light.

-- Janet Boyer, author of Back in Time Tarot

I think that it was a wonderful idea to write such a book. Yet, I would have liked it to have more information about the universe and our connection with everything and how children can begin to be more conscious and enlightened. The topics of love, peace, harmony, joy, balance, compassion and health could have been touched upon at a child's level. The book left me wanting more!!

You with the stars in your eyes provides a brilliant way to look at life and how everything we see is our own self in a different form. Deepak Chopra's first children's picture book is a one of a kind that teaches the interconnectedness and oneness of us all.

The book came in great condition! This book is illustrated in SO many unique ways and perspectives it's quite captivating...LOVED IT!

Wasn't as amazing as others had made it out to be, BUT I still love the book and so does my three-year-old daughter.

Illustrations are very ornate - very beautiful.

I couldn't resist getting this book. My own children are in college, but I will add it to the collection that I am saving for my future grandkids! It's perfect for bedtime, a sweet story and glorious, magical illustrations. The moon, the stars, a little girl and her grandfather and a walk on the beach. You can tell a lot of love went into this book. I look forward to reading it to little ones someday!

This book is perfect for a five year old girl on her birthday. It will give her a cosmic view and what better gift could I give, at that age.
