One Wave

One Wave is a children's book that introduces spiritual ideas such as manifestation, the oneness of everything, and love in language that children aged 2 to 5 can follow. Older children and adults can also read it. Its central idea is that we are all connected to the people we love, to the Universe, to Heaven, and to God, and that in any given moment we can choose love and find heaven here on earth.

Written for anyone, whatever their faith, the book is meant to help children, or the child inside an adult, choose their own path. It teaches that each person holds the power to choose love. It can comfort children who have lost someone, and it can encourage others to live with purpose without first learning those lessons through trauma and grief. It also opens conversations about death, loss, spirituality, mindfulness, meditation and manifestation.

Its audience includes toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, parents, teachers, therapists and school social workers. It also makes a gift for baby showers, graduations, or any family member or friend.

The concepts behind the book appear in adult spirituality titles such as The Four Agreements, The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet, Finding Your Way in a Wild New World, The Secret and The Prophet's Way. For younger readers, the book draws on the optimism and joy of Dallas Clayton's An Awesome Book and on the board books and picture books of Sandra Boynton, Mo Willems and Todd Parr. Patricia Karst's The Invisible String and The Invisible Web also share a message of universal connection and love, and One Wave brings that theme to readers of all ages.
