From the Back Cover:
This book is a timeless fairytale for children of all ages. Sparkle and the Gift is about a little girl who decides not to forget who she is, a radiant being of Light. Sparkle's remarkable determination is contagious. She takes her mother, Alice, outdoors to align with the natural world and to remember that the Light is everyone's friend. Alice is inspired to tell the story of Kachina's Gift, which is a fairytale designed to remind us that everything we need is already within us. An uplifting story to read again and again.
