The Spark Inside

Ami Chen Mills-Naim

This is an important book for children and young adults, whether they are psychologically or emotionally in trouble or not. This book is equally important for parents, teachers and counselors. The Spark Inside reveals, in easily understood language, the innate health that resides in each and every one of us. It shows young people that they can let go of the dark and negative thoughts that leads to low self-esteem, painful feelings, and anti-social behaviour. It explains that all youth have the ability to embrace healthy thoughts and lift their spirits into a state of creativity and peace that is their birthright, improving their connection to family, friends and the greater community. In addition to our mandate to teach children how to cross the street safely and how to read and write, this book provides the essential curriculum to help them discover how to live well, with more happiness and success—no matter what their background, skills and interests.
