A book filled with original prose, poetry, and illustrations conjured during this literary pilgrimage of wonder and awe. Interestingly, as this book came together, the Universe gingerly suggested changes in direction, as it often does, but never to this degree. I call this book my creative odyssey because of how much it changed throughout the almost 3-year process, which made the book not only about the relationship with the Universe but also about how it

A few weeks later, when I could do the market again, this gentleman stopped and bought a few of my prints.

The students loved it...They give it two thumbs up. I, personally, really enjoyed the book. It was a nice message about the wonders we all have and how we learn by asking questions. I LOVED the illustrations and especially enjoyed the humor weaved in throughout the book. It was excellent.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e____________________________________\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: This is a \u003cstrong\u003ePre-order\u003c\/strong\u003e and may take a few weeks to come until we receive our copies.
