"illustrated on vibrant primary
colors, the spirituality of being is creatively represented
through the manifestation of the "voice" of god.
unique in presentation, this tale shows how we are all connected
to everyone and everything from the scope of a very big story
to that of a very personal one. non-denominational and simply
told, the story is open enough to present itself on many levels
and appeal to all ages."
