Hi,

I'm wondering if any of you with children have ever looked for books for your kids that are written from a 'New Age' perspective. If so, did you find any? If so, could you let me know what they were. If you didn't find any, would you like to have them available? If so, what topics would be of interest to you?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

I dont personally have children...but this is just a thought...'new age' is such an astronomically broad term that is applied to everything from nazis to gardening. Perhaps a particular topic would be better to get an answer...such as indigo children or animal totems or jungian theory.
Are you looking or childrens books as in pleasure reading or for research into differnt types of theology?
Just a thought...let me know how it works out.

Unity Churches have bookstores. They would be your best bet for finding Children's New Age books. You might also try the UU bookstores.

Are you thinking of writing some books, Maggie?

If I were a parent, Rinpoche Chogyam Trungpa's "Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior" would be one that I would try to appropriate in the right time and context. It is an english language book, by only certain means new age, but worth considering for its merit.

Other titles which were like, when read, rights of passage for me, personally:
Paulo Coelho's "The alchemist", Herman Hesse's "Siddartha", and 'the little prince'.

Hi,

I know this is rather an old thread, and I don't have children.

However, here are a few books I think would be great.

Here are a some ideas:

a gemstones or healing stones book

an aromatherapy book for kids

an simple herbal book with pictures to help them i.d. the plants

an intro book to reiki

a dictionary of new age terms and words

Good luck, Fortuna

Well i don't know about new age but here are a couple of books that i bought for my small children.

The widows broom by:Chris Van Allsburg
This is a charming book about an old woman who does a kindness for a witch and in return is given the witches broom. It shows witches and magick in a very gentle and charming light.

The Rainbabies by: Laura Krauss Melmed
Is the story of an old couple that finds twelve thumb size babies after a moon shower. They protect the babies from hazards born of water, fire,earth. When the babies mother, in disguise, offers them great riches they refuse. In the end Mother Moonshower takes the babies home with her so they can grow properly but leaves a beautiful child to fill the couples days with joy.

My children loved these books and i hope that others will too. Of course there is always the old classic, "The velveteen rabbit" which is also enchanting. Hope this helps!

I have found a couple of books that have been helping me raise my children in the Pagan path. If that is what you are looking for let me know and I'll get the titles and authors for you.

I really wish I had a better idea of what you are looking for, I know of a wonderful resource that may be of some help, but I am confused as to what you want.
