Ganga: The River that Flows from Heaven to Earth
"This book begins long before the birth of Ganga and then follows through her birth, her life, and ends with how she becomes a river saving the souls of hundreds. Beautifully written and lovingly illustrated, this hardcover book is a wonderful keepsake for any family interested in Indian Culture or in teaching their children about various pantheons." (The Pagan Review, Jan 09)"Illustrated with richly beautiful watercolor and tempura paints in the style of classic Indian art,Ganga: The River that Flows from Heaven to Earthis a wonderful addition to children's multicultural lore shelves." (The Midwest Book Review, Jan 09)"There is also a note to parents and teachers, explaining that althoughthis is a story about ethereal beings, it is also about ethics and values that human beings can attain. Author Vatsala Sperling also includes a page of the cast of characters with a drawing of each one, as well as the phonetic pronunciation of the name and a brief description of the character. This addition makes the characters more easily differentiated and understood." (Susan LosCalzo, New Age Retailer, Spring 2009)"This lovely re-telling of a classic story from India will capture imaginations of children everywhere. . . . Highly recommended for ages 6 and older, especially those interested in world cultures." (Awareness magazine, July 2009)
