The Druid Boy

Book Cover & Preview Text
The druid boy had parents, but they were busy. They worked in the human world and they were stressed all of the time. The druid boy wore glasses. He had to, because all the flashing, bright and artificial lights hurt his eyes. He didn’t need his glasses when he was out in nature because his eyes could manage. The druid boy was given anti-histamines by his parents. He needed them because of his eczema and the allergies that came from the chemicals and preservatives in his human made food. The druid boy was loved by his parents more than life itself. Anything that he wanted or they thought he needed was provided, and his parents would have given their lives for him, but, it was hard to have time to connect because the human world was so busy. The druid boy was being abused. If his parents had have known, they would have been horrified, and if they had have known that it was them causing the abuse through pure ignorance of what he truly needed, they would have been devastated.

About the Book
Once upon a time, there was a boy who was connected to everything. He was in tune with every breath that the Earth made. He was in tune with the seasons and aware of the weather. He understood the stars. He could communicate with the animals.
He was only six years old, but already he was brimming with a quiet wisdom. The world he lived in however, was very different. It was full of stress, pressure, illness, and allergies. His parents were busy, distracted, and exhausted. The rest of the world was fast-paced and competitive.
The druid boy faced a challenge, for his own sake—could he inspire them to change before they all completely broke? Or would he just inevitably become “one of them”?
The Druid Boy offers insight into today’s modern world and the impact it is having on our children, and more importantly, the effect it is having on us. Interwoven are helpful strategies along the way on how to slow down, reduce stress, and live a more enjoyable, connected life.
