YES! is a book for children…and for their parents.

Children bring joy and renewal into the world. Their innocent wonder at all they see restores a bit of that in us. We try and extend that childhood as long as we can. Too soon, we know, experience will tarnish that innocence as life’s difficulties take their toll.

YES! offers a simple, positive message about the world in which our children find themselves. Fundamental physics blends with an equally fundamental message common to many secular and religious philosophies – that existence is inherently better than non-existence. IS! is BETTER than NOT IS, as the book reminds us.

It is hoped fundamentals around love and existence can be realized as common to our collective humanity as well as our cultural diversity. Difficult questions around pain, sorrow, and other hurtful life events remain open for discussion by the diverse cultural wisdom of communities across the world.

Read aloud, YES! becomes a dialogue between adult and child that explores existence. It offers simple suggestions that help bring children into the difficult adult discussions around cultural conflict, environmental sustainability, and so many other challenges that face us today.

When read individually by parents and children, the book becomes a common thought space for the inevitable questions children bring.

At its heart, YES! is philosophy, but philosophy – conscious or unconscious – is at the heart of all we do in our worlds…
