I love this book! It teaches children of all ages that everything in nature is connected, even if we don't understand why or how. It is a wonderful reminder to readers the importance of respecting all of nature, even the parts of it we don't necessarily like. I read this book to children in my program, Dancing Jaguar's Spirit Camp, and remind them that we don't kill spiders and ants (or anything else) just because we don't like them... we can remove them from where they are and place them in another location. It's a beautiful life lesson for all ages.

Crystal's Quest is a fun read from beginning to end. Crystal and her pet beagle, Noodle meet numerous animal characters on the many adventures they share. Each of their animal friends is in need of support, and Crystal uses her knowledge of gemstones to find the perfect stone to help them. This book offers children a practical way to discover how stones can be used to assist them when they are facing challenges. There is a bookmark in each chapter that educates the reader about the stone featured in that chapter. This is a wonderful way to continue the education about gemstones even after the reader has returned the book to the bookshelf. Their bookmarks can be used over and over again. I will carry this book in my product line. Eva Goulette, Dancing Jaguar's Spirit Camp
