Messages to Our Children is an awe-inspiring book of collective thoughts, words and messages of hope and inspiration to not only our children, but to all children. We share our messages and our stories in hope that "our" children will be inspired to reach for the stars and grab hold of success. Together, we are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, aunts, uncles, grandparents, god-parents and well-wishers of love and hope for children around the globe. Messages to Our Children seeks to promote a basic sense of oneness in uplifting the family, children and in uplifting the world.
