... a true story
of discovery, fun, and meaning
expressed through
the life of Boji,
​
a Monarch butterfly

... an accordion
Illustrated on an accordion book, Boji reveals its two sides:
​The Fun, because an accordion book moves like a caterpillar-
if you can’t believe it, ask your 5-year olds :)
​​
The Serious, because it reminds us that with all the ups and downs, life still goes on...

... a quest
to answer my 4-year-old nephew's question about
the purpose of life.... I had to first find it.
After 6 years of adventure, personal transformation,
and life changing experiences, I attempt to answer.
​
Let me know what else you'd say to a child.. this has been a collective quest, and I would love to have your opinion.

... a base for dialogue
Boji sparks conversations about topics that matter. And as children grow, it becomes a platform for dialogue on issues that matter to their new life circumstances: from food and sleep, to doing homework, to school mates, and even to career issues and life meaning.

... a toolbox
Boji was meant to be one big painting, and is actually painted in such a manner that you can display whichever part is needed at the moment: some pages lift you up, others remind you to slow down and enjoy some silence, or to stop and have a chat with a friend..
And for the younger ones simple things: that we need to eat to grow like Boji... or that sleep is actually nice...
The book is simple. Terribly simple. Yet very versatile.
How do you use yours?

... & a bunch of side effects
good side effects..
Like the little ones not dreading sleep so much anymore.
​
Like the little older ones finding courage here, determination there, making connections with their worlds and lives.
​
Like the rest of us smiling a bit here, stopping for a moment of self-reflection there.
​
Like all of us getting in the habit of counting to 3 to overcome any hesitation. Try it for yourself it works :)

About the Author
Writing a children book had never been my thing! I had been in management and training for years.
After going through a Near-Death-Experience in a car accident, I found myself with a changed perspective of everything: the world, life, and myself!
A series of serendipitous events in my life led to a personal profound transformation, life revelations, and immense peace.Â
Through the book, as with everything, I try to pass a touch of this peace to others...
