The Little Thoughts Inside - by Kenya D'Agustino (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

We can't see them, but we can feel them... How can this be?
Each of us have two little friends who live deep inside, always buzzing around wherever we go, whatever we do, every single day. One is in our heart and knows our inner truth. The other is in our mind with thoughts and intentions that may conflict with our heart. Some days they agree and get along. Other times they don't. So how do they live together in peace?

The Little Thoughts Inside is a new book to help kids understand the difference between the thoughts in their heads and the truth in their hearts. This awareness will help them to see who they really are and how to resolve conflict or stress in a positive and healthy way. There is no judgment, no right or wrong, and no good or bad here. The concepts of personal awareness, truth, feelings, and intuition are introduced as well as inner discord, frustration and fear, using non-threatening words and illustrations that keep it simple and clear.

This life-awakening new book from Kenya D'Agustino draws on her personal life experience and the awareness and wisdom she pursues. She teamed up with the clever imagination of her niece, who blossomed creative, relatable, and entertaining (concepts or illustrations) for kids. Together, they teach kids about inner conflict and how to listen to and follow their hearts in a fun, positive, healthy, and relaxing way.

These friends each have feelings, and at times the same thought.
When they don't, one feels good, the other does not.

One says, "Do it this way!" while the other says, "Nope!"
Like they're playing tug-o-war with invisible rope.

The thought in your head is often demanding or not sure what to do.
While the thought in your heart knows the best choice for you.
