Book 1 of 8: Ethan and the Seven Chakras

Get to know Ethan and the seven main chakras as he overcomes his fear of public speaking.

In this first of eight books, meet ten-year-old Ethan as he begins a journey through the seven chakras. New to Canada after living in five countries, he faces his greatest fear: Public speaking in front of twenty-four curious classmates who will judge him as either fascinating or foreign.


With parents an ocean away and a speech that threatens to expose his insecurities, Ethan discovers that security comes not from external circumstances but from within. In Grandma Susan’s warm kitchen, where generational wisdom simmers alongside pancakes, and across the street where his new friend, Priya, introduces him to the ancient energy centers that govern our wellbeing, Ethan begins to understand the powerful energy system within us all.
