The spiritual journey of welcoming a new soul into this world, will resonate beautifully for parents, through the sound of their own voices giving it shape & color, in reading aloud this delightfully written & illustrated picture book. It offers parents & loved ones, an entry point through storytelling and the simple fun of rhythm & repetition, to sew seeds of knowing in the new soul, for a life-long relationship, in this world, with the starry realms of their spiritual home. Trisha Cahill There's a beautiful warmth and generosity in 'A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul' that will be valuable at different stages of incarnation - especially when read aloud. The gentle language and the knowledge behind it will be enriching for prospective parents as they await the birth of a precious soul. Then the repetition and rhythm, so akin to a nursery rhyme, will resonate in infants through the voice of their parent. And as the child begins to question, the text and illustrations, provide an opportunity for important sharing. I have known Becci for many years, as a very caring young mother and now a grandmother who has long been committed to exploring the purpose of the soul's incarnation. This book is a delightful outcome. Helen Martineau Author and spiritual teacher I wish I had this book when I was bringing up my own children. Dad, where was I before I was born? Dad, why are you and Mum my parents? ...This little book is a treasure. In a gentle, playful way, Becci takes us into a world of colour and richness. We remember that we too once dwelt far away from planet earth. We remember how exciting it is to come to loving parents. We revisit a world of innocence and potential. The illustrations are a perfect accompaniment to the text, quirky, and filled with glorious colours. Just like the warmth and beauty of that ...place above the stars, far away from Planet Mars... 'A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul' is a perfect gift for expecting parents, and for expecting grand parents. Thank you Becci. John Franz Becci's illustrated book entitled 'A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul' is a breath of fresh air and a valuable resource for parents with young children. The work offers a perspective from 'the other side', that is, viewing earthly existence from the perspective of the world beyond. It offers young hearts and minds the opportunity to stay connected with the invisible realms and to affirm the deep interconnections that they have with their parents and other members of the family. This has to do with the life blueprint that a child is born with, and the purposes set in the heavens that are potentials to be fulfilled in the unfolding of the life that lies ahead... I recommend 'A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul' to any parent who wants to strengthen the soul of their child with spiritual concepts and imaginative content that resonates with the truth of what it means to commence the journey of life in the body, and the importance of knowing one's origins.
