The Tale of Miss Spider that spun her web. (Book) - 3/13/2010 9:43:33 PM
It is hard to review your own book, so I will leave that up to Christina Ince. Cristina wrote a book review Of The tale of Miss Spider who spun her web in the issues magazine in BC Canada. And this is what she wrote: While this is a book for young children, the author told me that the message contained therein is for young and old, so it is for you to enjoy reading to the little ones in your life. Spiritual healer and teacher Mieke Blommestein, who lives in BC, began channeling in 1982; in 2000 her spirit guide Emanuel came to her, and the story in this book is the first of many that he told to her. The first illustration is of a monk sitting in a garden, holding a book for three children to see- this is Emanuel, who invites Mieke into his garden, so that he may share with her his stories. I won't spoil the story- line for you by giving much detail, but can tell you that it is about Miss Spider who learns that she can indeed choose between the voices in her head, and opts for the one that is full of love and kindness, rather than the loud and angry one. The text is simple, easy for youngsters to understand, yet conveys the message of love and harmony so well. The illustrations were provided by Diane Perruzzi, a free lance illustrator who has taken her artistic ability seriously since the age of ten. Her painted work perfectly illustrates the story, and she uses lots of soft pastel water colors to give plenty of visual interest to children who cannot yet follow the written words. This is the first children's story channeled by Mieke Blommestein, the second illustrated by Diane Perruzzi- this seems to me to be a fitting collaboration, and I am sure once you read it you will be looking for more
