Playing with Gaia . . . discovering the spirit of Mother Earth

By Cindy Bowen

The children's book has won a Moonbeam gold medal in the Mind/Body and and Self-esteem category and a Mom's Choice Award gold medal in the New Age category."I have no one to play with" said Chloe, "You can play with Gaia...she's in the rocks, trees, sky and bees." Intrigued and inspired by these words from her mother, young Chloe steps outside to find this magical friend. Soon she is dancing in the delights of nature. She stretches both her imagination and her body mimicking of animals, trees, insects and rivers, revealing to young readers the earth-bound sources of yoga, t'ai chi and other bodily expressions. Playing with Gaia is a playful, natural introduction to these arts while also an inspiring story about how one child stepped outside into the world and deeply within herself at once.
