The Soul Bird: new edition

There is one drawer for happiness, one for love, one for jealousy, one for every human emotion. Only the soul bird holds the keys to the drawers and opens them when we ask. But sometimes the bird seems to disobey - when we ask for tolerance there is fear, when we ask for calm there is anger. This little book helps us to understand the bird's hidden message and find out more about our true selves. The Soul Bird has been translated into 23 languages and is a bestseller all round the world. A gentle and poetic story originally written for children has become an international favourite. It uses the simple language of childhood to convey a deeper philosophical message for us all.
