Eddy the Whirlpool

Eddy, a little whirlpool, appeared in the stream one day. While playing and having fun with his friends, a friend tells him he is in danger. He must grow bigger, or risk disappearing. This starts Eddy on his life journey. A journey of forgetting and remembering who he truly is.

A heartwarming story about happiness, surviving, and the discovery that we are not separate from the world we live in.

Leon's Color Crisis

Life can be confusing for all young chameleons. But especially for Leon the Chameleon. Since he was little, Leon’s eyes have been stuck looking sideways, so he can’t see himself and never knows what color he is. Others are constantly telling him what he should be…blue, green, orange…but they contradict each other and change their minds.

How will Leon find his true color?

I warmly recommend the charming tale about the adventures of Eddy the Whirlpool.

As we know, children are naturally close to their true being. This makes them especially open to the perennial understanding lying at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions: that beneath our whirling thoughts and emotions we can find unshakeable peace and happiness. The children of today will also be running the world in thirty years! With this in mind, I’d like to warmly recommend Gijs Hubben’s charming tale about the adventures of Eddy the Whirlpool.

It unveils two timeless truths: that reality is a single, infinite and indivisible whole; and that happiness can be found in the understanding that we essentially are that reality. This is the simple joy of being.

Welcome dear reader! For ages, story telling was a powerful tradition to convey truths about life. Nowadays, people prefer more intellectual explanations. But our minds tend to make things complicated.

A simple story can convey more wisdom than lengthy books on philosophy, religion or spirituality. Because we tend to listen to stories with our heart, not with our heads. 

Here you find illustrated short stories that convey the essence of the world's spiritual and religious traditions.

And these are by no means 'just' for children!
