Here she uses pen and ink line drawings to illustrate the author's words. In the second part of the book the editors show how Rawat's stories apply in real life, as he responds to questions from his audiences. Whether it's a mother, a healthcare professional, or a business leader. The creative team present a book for calm reflection; to take around with you. Great to touch, hold and read, with a message that goes straight to the heart.
