You Are Everything

Inspired by a Rumi poem, this mystical picture book for the young readers emphasizes the vast interconnectedness of the world and each of us.

you thought:
What if I try a little...
becoming?

And as soon as you thought it,
it started to happen.
(That's how powerful you are!)
Whatever you thought of,
you started to become!

You Are Everything takes readers on a journey that begins before the existence of space and time and ends in the present day. Illustrated by Iranian-American artist Shilla Shakoori, the story is a cosmically inclusive embrace of our interconnectedness.

With each turn of the page your transformation unfolds from a being that just is to one that becomes the world around us. And if you can take a moment off from all the doing that you do, author Arabian suggests, and let yourself simply be, you may realize that you are not just one person -- you are also everything in the universe.

Readers who are inspired by Rumi and stories from Persian mystics or anyone interested in mindfulness and a greater awareness of being in the world will love You Are Everything.
