This is a delightful book which teaches children about confidence, growth and trusting your inner heart. Like the Lotus Flower we can endure everyday challenges by navigating the muddy world to bloom with confidence and love! A wonderfully illustrated book for young and old alike, written by a nurse and father based on Nurse Theorist Dr Jean Watson's Caritas Processes(R) - canons or tenants of what it means to care for one another and ourselves. No mud, no lotus.
