How would your life be different if you could regularly access boundless wisdom? Would it be more peaceful? Fun? Expansive? What are you waiting for? Each one of us sits upon our own toolbox--our own treasure trove of inner resources. The trick is learning how to open your toolbox and skillfully use the tools inside.

Henry’s ninth birthday is over already, and he can’t help but miss all of the fun of his party. But as Henry grapples with his sadness, he notices something outside his window . . . a small bird flits in place on the ground. Something doesn’t seem right, so Henry goes to investigate. When he discovers the bird is struggling, he’s filled with an overwhelming desire to help. Join Henry as he helps a creature in need and watch how a single act of kindness can inspire a continuous cycle of kindness in others. The Feathered Bridge is a karmic, cyclical story about the importance of caring for others and how compassion can make us feel better, too. In it, children will see that loss is not the end of the journey, and that what we give to others will come back to us in time. The Feathered Bridge teaches children that all beings—humans, animals, the environment—are interconnected. We are all downriver from one another, and how we live and treat others matters.
