Summary In the strange Whispering Woods, in the middle of a lovely meadow, the tiny but active Minikins start an amazing adventure that starts with a simple act of kindness. Their lives change drastically when they meet Tom, a huge man who is disabled because of something bad that happened. The Minikins form a group because they care deeply about others and want to help those in need. This sets the stage for a journey that shows how powerful teamwork can be and how endless the human heart can be. The Minikins get around the problems that come up when they try to help someone who is much bigger than them by being creative, brave, and working together. To keep Tom safe from the weather, they build a shelter and go food hunting to get his health back. Some of the problems they face on their trip are having to go through a thick forest to get supplies and a strong storm that could slow them down. Still, the Minikins' determination gets stronger as they face and overcome each challenge, showing how strong they are and how important it is to work together. Their journey comes to an end when they start looking for the famous Healing Flower. This search takes them through a land they don't know. During the journey, they form partnerships with other forest dwellers like the Owlens, Beewingles, and Whispering Rabbits. Each brings their own special skills to the group's overall goal. These new friends broaden the Minikins' horizons and teach them important lessons about working together, accepting differences, and making friends from all walks of life. Once Tom is better and has said thank you, there is a party to honor the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the wins won. This shows that the Minikins think any act of kindness is important, no matter how small. Tom and the Minikins have both been permanently changed by what they have been through together. As he leaves, he promises to take their legacy with him. This story takes place in the magical Whispering Woods and is a colorful tale of bravery, kindness, and a strong sense of community. It's a lesson that everyone, no matter how big or small, has the power to make a huge difference, and that real greatness often comes in small packages. When the Minikins show up, they show that our deeds, not our size, make us heroes, even though they are very small but have big hearts. Chapter 1: What They Found The Minikins were a unique group of small people who lived deep in the Whispering Woods, among the tall trees. They were in charge of this huge, green area that went on forever. These little people, who were no bigger than a grasshopper, had the bravest and nicest attitudes. In order to keep curious people from seeing their homes, the Minikins hid them under soft grass and between the roots of old trees. A group of Minikin kids were playing hide-and-seek in the field next to their forest home on a sunny morning as the trees woke up to the sound of birds singing and soft leaves rustling. As they played, something strange caught their attention. They were laughing and having a good time. A tall man was lying in the grass. He was huge, much bigger than any Minikin they had ever seen. He had long arms and legs and a soft face, but he didn't move. As the Minikin kids got closer, interest mixed with fear, and worry showed on their little faces. The tall ones had been told about, but they had never seen one like this. The kids' short legs helped them move quickly through the bushes on their way back to their village. The finding got a lot of attention, and Minikins of all ages got together to talk about what they should do. The wise old people understood they couldn't leave the tall guy when he needed help after hearing the kids' story. The Minikins thought that all living things, no matter how big or small, should be helped, even if they were strangers. The Minikins came together to save the day. They knew the job would be hard because they were small and the tall ones' world was big and often risky. Their hearts were big, though, and they were brave because they cared about others and had a strong sense of what was right. They went into the meadow with nothing but their willpower and the tools they could take. The tall grass there made them look like green giants. As they got closer, they paid more attention to the tall figure. It looked like he was sleeping because his chest moved up and down with each breath. The Minikins talked among themselves to figure out the best way to help. They knew that they wouldn't be able to move him because of his size. But they could keep him warm, dry, and safe from the weather until he woke up. The little people in Whispering Woods swore they would help the tall man, and their hearts were as big as the field they were standing in. They were set on finding a way, but they didn't know how they were going to do it. It was the start of an unexpected relationship that would teach them how important it is to be brave, how strong it is to stick together, and how giving can actually get you through hard times. The Minikins, despite their small size, were about to go on an amazing adventure that showed even the smallest heroes can make a big difference. Chapter 2: A Plan is Being Made As soon as the Minikins agreed to help the big guy, whom they called Tom, they knew they had to work together and come up with a plan. All the Minikins, from the tiniest sprout to the biggest oak, got together under the old trees that looked like they were whispering. This was the center of their secret society. Their little voices were full of thoughts and worries about their new friend. The Minikins had minds and hearts as big as the Whispering Woods, even though they were small. The crowd fell silent when the village's wise and experienced elders asked everyone to be quiet. They talked about how important it is to be kind and how strong it is to work together. The Minikins finally decided on two main goals: getting Tom food to make him stronger again and making him a shelter to keep him safe from the weather and wild animals. These people knew that they could still be nice to Tom even though they couldn't talk to him. First, they had to build a place to stay. The Minikins knew exactly what to do because they were skilled artists and builders. They split up into groups and gave each group a specific task to do. They used vines to hold things together, leaves as big as sails, and wood as strong as beams to gather materials. Others started the careful process of weaving leaves and wood together to make a strong cover that would keep out the weather. The Minikin designers did a great job with it because it was big enough to protect Tom from the sun and rain and well-designed enough to blend in with the field. After that, they focused on getting food. The Minikins were happy in the woods and fields. They knew where to get the best fruits, nuts, and berries. However, it wasn't easy for the monster to find food. A great many Minikins had to work very hard and nonstop to get enough food. Fruits, nuts, and seeds were passed from one small hand to the next as they made their way back to Tom's shelter. They also found a big leaf that they used as a temporary plate and fed Tom a meal fit for a king of that rank. Over the course of the night, the Minikins worked until they were done, lit only by fireflies. As they took a step back to enjoy their work, they were filled with pride and hope. They had joined forces and used their individual skills and energies to help achieve a shared goal. By showing that they were ready and able to help Tom, even though they were different sizes, they earned his trust and friendship.
This is a book about seeing the ultimate mystery as represented by the figure of God. It is not about religion per se, although it makes reference to many of the great religious traditions of the world and their gods. Rather, it is about the presence of the spiritual world and its inhabitants. The author's aim is to attempt to answer the question, How do we see God? through engaging with the images created by a group of children from a number of different cultures and spiritual backgrounds. Through a two-year period, the author travelled the world interviewing more than 500 children, asking them to draw a picture of God, to act and speak as God, and to tell a story about God. This text is a documentation of that journey into the lives and spiritual beliefs of children. Throughout the book, a broad selection of pictures and stories by the children is reproduced and paraphrased. The author offers his own commentaries, not as an analyst in a psychological sense or critic in a literary one, but as a God-seeker trusting in the power of the image to reveal meaning. This unique book will be of primary interest to professionals in the field of psychology, especially child and family therapists, as well as art and drama therapy, sociology, and theology. The book will also have appeal to parents and children who are looking for ways to understand their belief systems in relationship to others.
