Read what folks are saying about Fireflies of the Mind!
What the experts are saying:
“An impassioned, melodious, and mythical adventure that leaves you spellbound. Juliet A, piano teacher extraordinaire who teachers scores of children how to appreciate music, has expressed her own version of passion through this amazing mythical story of melodies. This is an amazing creation — a musical, visual story that you will hyper-focus on, reading and singing it over and over. This is one of the most amazing projects I have witnessed in over 20 years of coaching and training coaches. Juliet is a prime example of what can happen when you trust your heart to not be taken over by the head and let your inner imagination create possibilities of the heart.”
“An imaginative story with beautiful songs that children and parents will fall in love with. Adventure, resilience, and creativity abound!”
From artists and musicians:
“This book is full of depth and inspiration. I was actually moved to tears at one point! I felt taken along on the ride with the characters, and the unique artwork illustrated the story beautifully. The feelings of the 3 young characters are so universal and could be comforting for children who question themselves and often feel they don’t measure up to others. They can be reminded that they are not alone with these feelings, that there is hope! There are beautiful and reassuring messages for children in this book. One of my favorites is when the Moon speaks: “Everything you need is already within you... All your most beautiful truths are inside, just waiting to be discovered.…” These can be transforming words for children. I highly recommend this beautiful book!”
“A wonderful storybook for families to help sympathize and understand our complex emotions. Beautifully illustrated, thoughtfully written, a very original family read!”
But wait, there’s more!
“Perfect for helping students to recognize, understand and process their feelings. Kids will enjoy this whimsical musical journey and choose to listen to it again and again, they may not even realize they are learning to be mindful. Be sure to get the book and CD!”
“A beautifully inspirational tale, spun with wit and wisdom for all ages. I downloaded the songs, too, which added a wondrous new level to the storytelling.”
“Wow! This book will take the reader on a sensory journey! It is a fantastic story with a fantastic message about personal growth, self-discovery and self-acceptance. Each page is a delight to savor and enjoy and will dazzle the mind, heart and soul. The illustrations are so beautifully done and it is obvious that the author took great time and effort to make sure everything flowed and connected just right. The music (sold separately to accompany the book) is so creatively crafted to enhance the story while delighting the listener. I can’t remember when I enjoyed a story so much and I can’t wait to share it with my friends and family of ALL AGES!!”
