About the book

The book your words will find a home in was born from the beautiful heart of my seven-year-old son, who one day came up to me and candidly expressed his future life aspirations:

"Mummy, I know what I want to do when I'm older. I want to make Pokemon come to real life. And I want to help everyone in the world live the truth in their hearts."

This book is about just that - a powerful metaphor for children to have the strength and wisdom to hold onto the truth of who they are - always.

And a powerful means of letting us mothers share our messages of what we want our children to know the most in their hearts.
