Aspirational and Gently Spiritual Tale
This is a lovely children's book with a non-denominational and gentle spiritual undertone, especially for girls. It's an introductory chapter book with some black and white pictures, and I would say it is best for ages 5-10 or so - the younger end of this age spectrum would need to have it read to them, but by age 8 or so, most of today's children will be able to read it themselves (both my 7 and 8 year old daughters read it themselves.) It centers on Betsy, a young girl who wants to play football with the boys in her neighborhood. They don't want her to play, but in her dreams she visits 'the golden room' and receives inspiration and advice for how to deal with them. She also receives clues that at first she can't discern, but that in a situation with the boys that arises the next day prove to be a tips on how to help heal one of the boys when he's injured. This event turns things around for Betsy, and helps her realize she may have other gifts that she can share. This book is meant to be the first in a series of books featuring Betsy and her energy healing/spiritual lessons, so I look forward to more!
Live from the Golden Room
Betsy and the Golden Room is a deftly woven story introducing important skills for children on the cusp of the 21st century. Issues of self-esteem, girl-power, and the healing arts with a hint of Celtic charm. "Just do the next right thing" Betsy's mom ingrained in her nine-year-old so that when Betsy needs support and courage she finds them in her loving mother's voice inside herself. Author Lese Dutton moves readers beyond everyday reality into the Good Magic young children accept so naturally in a brilliant, light-hearted, non-sectarian way that delights young readers.
Was the story real? My children always asked. Of course, use your imagination, then it's real, I said. Here, Lese Dunton's light touch makes the improbable not only normal but classic. Free of cant, strong on crossing thresholds, wise in coping skills. So charming the lessons will slide over the goalposts in this winner -- by Garnette Arledge, author
Betsy and the Golden Room
Betsy and the Golden Room is an enchanting tale of a 9-year-old's spiritual awakening and how she puts it to good use with newfound confidence and awareness. Great stuff, much to learn from so-called kids, as a so-called adult I identified. Loved the meditative mood and the lavender oil.
