This pathway will lead you to books from the world's major wisdom teachings and religious traditions; to creation stories from many cultures; and to poems and stories that will help you and the children in your care to become more aware of the mystery and beauty of life.

All of us have to come to terms with the death of a loved one. This tender story, inspired by a dream which author Elizabeth Warfel had before her daughter Elise died, takes us on a journey beyond the human realm as angels search for the beautiful blue pearls that will adorn Elise’s dress in the afterlife.

With its heartfelt text and magnificent, iconographic illustrations by French artist, Veronique Giarrusso, The Blue Pearls teaches us that the most important thing in life is loving and being loved. It also shows us that the process of dying can be a time of great richness, insight and spiritual comfort, making it an invaluable support to anyone who is dealing with terminal illness or bereavement.
