Susan B. Katz - Share Your Love

  • Book Passage Corte Madera 51 Tamal Vista Boulevard Corte Madera, CA, 94925 United States (map)

Special Event for Kids! Ages 3-7!

A playful, rhyming book for kids ages 3-7 on how to send loving, kind thoughts to yourself and others to make the world a better place.

โ€‹ Keep sharing your love  
 from morning till night.  
 See the change you can make  
 with a love that shines bright.  

Worried or sad, grateful or glad, you can send good wishes to yourself, others, and the whole world with your thoughts! Just repeat these simple phrases: โ€œMay you be protected and safe. May you feel happy and pleased. May your body be healthy, and may you live with ease.โ€   

[Share Your Love] teaches young readers that even from far away, you can wish others happiness, good health, peace, and safety. Starting with the individual child and extending outward to the whole universe, the rhyming couplets and beautiful art carry the reader through the thoughtful process of extending love and kindness to yourself and all those around you. The book makes a great daily ritual to increase lovingkindness, and if a child is having a rough time or witnessing outside struggles, they can use the repeated phrases in the book to find peace and calm. Excerpt:  

Now comes the hard part, 
but itโ€™s like giving a gift! 
Sing to someone you donโ€™t like 
so your angry thoughts shift. 

โ€œMay you be protected and safe.  
May you feel happy and pleased. 
May your body be healthy,  
and may you live with ease.โ€ 

Donโ€™t you feel better? 
Sharing love, wishing well? 
Itโ€™s lighter than worry 
and makes our hearts swell.
