The first children's book Illumination Arts ever published was All I See is Part of Me, written by Chara M. Curtis and illustrated by Cynthia Aldrich. As you may know from our company history, our initial focus had been on adult metaphysical titles; however, All I See is Part of Me imparts such a powerful message that president John Thompson couldn't help but publish it.

This rhyming picture book, illustrated in colored pencil, brings to life the interconnectedness of the universe. When the Sun tells a young boy, "We are one," the boy asks, "How can I be both me and you?" and embarks on journey to discover the light that shines within all things.

All I See is Part of Me makes a great introduction to metaphysical concepts for young children. Published in 1989, it remains one of Illumination Arts' best-selling books to this day.
