Get ready to take a grand tour of the cosmos and discover your own place in it with this enlightening short poetry book. Written by Everett Livingston, The Story of You takes readers on a poetic odyssey, traversing through different histories, civilizations, and galaxies and showing how each of our lives is connected due to the convergence of various ancestors, cultures, eons, nations, ages, and time. Everything came together throughout time and space to substantiate the existence of you. Each of us is a universe unto ourselves. Apart from each other, we are also connected to colonies of bugs, microbes, and other primeval atoms. We are forged from elements of the brightest stars, and we hold within ourselves limitless aspirations and dreams. We are the embodiment of history, nature, and spirit.
The Story of You tells the tale of life and humanity as it came to be through a series of interconnected miracles, each more extraordinary than the last. Everett Livingston gifts readers with perfect rhyming affirmations to instill self-belief and find peace, love, and joy within themselves. This picture book needs to be read by young readers and adults alike. Livingston's poetic storytelling is both lyrical and mesmerizing. I found it very impressive how the author encapsulated so much human history and the creation of life in the universe within a relatively short rhyming tale in a way that children will find engaging and entertaining. Personally, I found it illuminating, invigorating, and inspirational in equal measure. Read the book and begin your day with love and joy in your heart!
