In this tale, an ordinary day becomes an extraordinary adventure as the quality of humility comes to life in a little boy named Bradley Banana. When he meets up with the pompous pirate, Captain Clumpalong, will he end up being forced to walk the plank? Richly illustrated by Chitra Sudhakaran, this book will delight parents and children alike. Bradley Banana is a charming way to share positive character qualities with children of six years and older. Much like an affirmation repeated before sleep when the subconscious mind is highly receptive to positive thoughts, this book makes an excellent bedtime story. Bradley Banana is the first in publication in a series of 20 childrens picture books from The Spirit-in-Nature Essences Storybook Collection for Little Blossoms of All Ages. It personifies the flower essences of Spirit-in-Nature Essences, the oldest company of its kind outside the United Kingdom. Flower essences are herbal infusions that awaken our soul qualities, such as kindness, calmness, and unconditional love. These twenty essences, inspired by the wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda, are prepared from the blossoms of various fruit trees and vegetable plants. This hardcover treasure can either supplement your childs flower essence program, or be enjoyed separately.
