“Do you ever hear the beasts scratching at the door? They want to be let out, to be wild and free!”
This book encourages us to find the qualities which make us human and to ponder the beauty around us. We are reminded that we don’t need to be dragged down by negative thoughts, and we are encouraged to love ourselves and others through a series of quirky animal drawings, which the author calls her ‘spiritual guides.’
