Why Am I Here?

Meet Ambarella, a young oak tree with a longing to understand her purpose for being brought into the world. Just a young seedling when she looks up at her very old and very wise mother, and asks this very big question,

"Mama, why am I here?"

The very old and very wise mother replied,

"You were created from my loving thoughts.

The universe has brought you to life to find and fulfill your purpose."

And so, Ambarella's journey began. . .

Do you know your life purpose yet? If not, be patient-look inward-and you will soon discover the beauty that awaits you.

Packed with beauty, friendship, humor, and sweetness, this is a lovely read not only for children, but for adults who have not fully realized their purpose or "dharma" and wish to learn through the lessons illustrated here.
