Into the Wake of a Major Stock Market Plummet, Quietly Walks a Children’s Book Aimed Directly at the Heart of Materialism

Calgary, Alberta, Canada, October 17, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With families reviewing their losses this week, many are wondering how they will break it to their kids that the list of news toys this year may need some serious editing. Yet before you get out the red pen and cross things of the list, consider the possibility of a completely different approach. It’s simple and you can do it now. Teach your children the truth - that happiness does not come from things. The Presents’ Presents by Teresa de Grosbois does just that. Materialism has become a crisis in our society, eating away at the happiness of our families. It’s time we got serious about teaching our children that happiness comes from our own inner attitudes: from gratitude and giving of the heart. The Presents’ Presents deftly weaves this lesson in a fun and engaging way that children and parents will both love.

The Presents’ Presents is a story of a young girl Rae, who starts hosting her birthdays to fund-raise for others in need. Her friends follow the lead for a wonderful domino effect of good in the world. Children will learn by example how to have an attitude of gratitude and giving in their lives. The book encourages children to become birthday superheroes for others in need.

She has been compared to Dr. Seuss. Her themes align with many of today’s great spiritual teachers, such as Ekhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra. It’s clear, Teresa deGrosbois is waking children up to a new way of thinking.

The book can be ordered, on-line, at www.smallshifts.com
