About the Book
Present Moment / Colorful Moment
My children loved reciting these short “gathas” and spent hours carefully coloring in each page. I highly recommend this book for parents and teachers! This is a beautiful reminder how simple it is to return to the present moment,while resting in awareness with our children.

Can You Draw a Shooting Star?
This book was of tremendous value for my third and fourth grade students! By hearing Rashani’s words and seeing Matthew’s drawings the children were gently encouraged to share what they had previously kept hidden and were often afraid of expressing. By drawing their feelings, and seeing the drawings of their friends, the intensity lessened and sometimes vanished completely.

Tao and The Moon
This delightful book is a collaboration between a mother and son, inspiring other parents to co-create beauty and meaning with their children. From a young age we are taught to look outside for answers, and for love, and this story gently undoes the conditioned mind and leaves the reader touched by moonlight and truth.

About the Author
Rashani Réa, born as Tori Harris, began writing poetry at the age of seven and was published four years later. She was born in Northern California where she spent the first fifteen years of her life and began teaching art when she moved to the east coast with her family a year later. Raised with the motto “freedom is discipline,” her childhood was an immersion in artistic explorations and an ongoing inquiry into the nature of beauty. Inspired by Martin L. King Jr. and Joan Baez, Rashani was awakened to the impact of art in social change and became an impassioned social activist at the age of twelve. Her other books include Beyond Brokenness and The Unfurling of an Artist.
