Saijin's Journey Begins is the first book in a series of inspiring stories for youth, ages 8-12.

Saijin is a young girl with a curious mind, seeking for understanding and watchful of signs. Inspired by the mentors in her life--her schoolteacher, her mother, and the neighborhood librarian, Saijin is on a quest to find out what is special about the owl.

In The Owl and The Buddha, her journey begins with a dutiful search for knowledge and ends with the wonder and magic of wisdom found. Travel along with Saijin and learn for yourself why the owl is a symbol of wisdom. This delightful story touches that part of the human spirit that inspires us all to dig beneath the surface, stretch a little further, try a little harder and look a little deeper as we live our lives.

The on-going book series, Saijin's Journey, will further this quest to learn who we really are by helping youth identify with the purpose, intention, and value of their lives--their unique qualities and astounding potential. An excellent read for today's imaginative, curious, question-asking and answer-seeking youth!
