Little Garlic is a delightful way to inspire children with spiritual wisdom.

The stories evoke Richard Bach's Illusions and Antoine de Saint-Exup�ry's The Little Prince, with a young protagonist "Little Garlic" and his guide "Onion," whose layered wisdom provides a passageway to spiritual discovery for all ages.

Little Garlic will nurture a feeling of being at home in the universe.
