In Search of the Light - Chapter 1

http://www.insearchofthelight.com This is a video of Leonard Jacobson narrating the first chapter of his children's picture book, "In Search of the Light."

IN SEARCH OF THE LIGHT is a 32 page children's picture book for ages 3-93. It is Leonard's first children's book and is beautifully illustrated by Fiammetta Dogi, who lives in Florence, Italy.

The rhyming dialogue tells an enchanting story of animals in the meadow who experience a sudden eclipse of the sun. Not knowing what had happened, they believe that somehow the sun has lost its way, and they are concerned that it could mean the end of light. Considering the situation to be most urgent, they form an expedition of four who journey to unknown places in search of the source of the light.

The first of three chapters introduces the four who journey in search of the light. Ned, the horse is the leader. Peter, the rabbit is his reluctant and somewhat fearful companion. They are joined by Bert, the brave little bumblebee and timid but very sweet Molly mouse.

Chapter Two takes them into a forest of darkness, where they encounter all sorts of frightening things, including witches and ghosts hiding in shadows. Just when things seem hopeless, the wind speaks to them offering advice to seek a guide who has his own inner light. Shortly afterwards, they encounter Frederick Firefly, who guides them to a land where nothing seems right.

Finally, in Chapter Three they walk down the "path of the opposites" and a bird with a very large beak offers them guidance. They discover that when they are beyond all judgment, desire and fear, they discover that the source of the light is within each one of them, and that it always has been.

The story opens children and adults to a magical and childlike world of innocence, where a beautiful and simple message of truth is revealed.

In Search of the Light will be available in bookstores June 2011, but we have a limited number of books AVAILABLE NOW through the authors website: http://www.insearchofthelight.com

I love the music in the background. Who's the pianist that did this marvelous work?
