Deepak Chopra’s first children’s book is a sweet and poignant  story that  reveals  the  meaning of true love.  On   a cool summer’s eve, five-year-old Tara takes a walk on the beach with her grandfather.  When he is not quite sure how to answer her questions about love and life, the Moon herself joins in on the conversation. She tells Tara that the stars made our eyes so they could see themselves. She also explains that everyone we see is our own self in a different form.
 
Deepak Chopra is the prolific author of more than 50 books; and more than 100 audio, video, and CD titles, which have been translated into over 50 languages. His book Peace Is the Way won the Quill Award; and The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life received the Nautilus Award. To order your copy, please click here!
