A new picture book by Anna Llenas, author of the children's bestseller The Color Monster.

We are all born with a jewel inside of us. It is our being, our true self, our essence, the most precious thing we have. But as we grow, the world encourages us to look to the outside and not within, towards our needs, emotions, and feelings ... And this is how the disconnect happens.

We can spend our entire lives looking for what we once had and lost. We can embark on the path of consciousness, of personal growth, where our motivation will be to find the answers within ourselves, rather than take them from the outside.

If we take care of and nurture our essence, we can regain the strength and self-esteem we once lost and, faced with the twists and turns that life gives us, we will never feel alone, because we will have ourselves.

A wonderful book that will appeal both to young and old readers alike.
