Reviewed by Janelle Alex, Ph.D. for Readers' Favorite

boombin and lama: a story of friendship...investigation...and adventure! is a deeply profound book. The pages are filled to the brim with color, activity and a sense of the spiritual. Authors Boona Cheema and Damon Guthrie do a great job of sharing a vast amount of insightful and enlightening prospects. I felt as if I was traveling right along with boombin. However, I was a bit overwhelmed with so much information being crammed into this brief story. Of course, this leads me to point out that there is a vast amount of actions that we, as global citizens on planet Earth, need to implement so as to heal our planet, ourselves and all creatures and things that inhabit this place. The story of boombin and lama offers a slew of opportunities for deep conversations to be sparked.

Taking one page at a time, and diving deep into the message and insight within that passage, helped the deep spiritual message to more easily shine through. At times, my son and I still found the story to skip around or ahead too quickly. We felt we might have missed something. Yet, as we would settle in, open our hearts and reread Cheema and Guthrie's words through boombin and lama's eyes, we were able to feel the inner joy that this book can bring to one's soul. This is a story that can be returned to time and again. It will spark beautiful imagination and soulful mindfulness if one allows it to do so.
