Editorial Reviews from Amazon:

''A long-time spiritual teacher known worldwide, Jacobson labored for three years (for some very good reasons) to create this simple yet ''cut-to-the-core'' masterpiece - and, in the process, mastered the literary art of appealing to both adults and children. Fantastically illustrated by Fiammetta Dogi, the big, bright paintings nearly jump out and draw the reader into a world within a world. The deeper beauty, though, is how the message is lyrically worded, and how the artwork helps to further enliven the flowing language, virtually embuing the sentences with the very emotions Jacobson probably felt while writing them.'' --Jim Calabrese, Creations Magazine
 
''As an adult and a professional who works with children with special needs, I thought In Search of the Light by Leonard Jacobson was a remarkably creative and powerful story with a profound message about life told in a way that preschoolers could understand and that could lift the spirits of many little soul. The images that Jacobson uses to tell his story by illustrator Fiammetta Dogi are unbelievably creative and, at times, whimsical! It is truly is a beautiful story to help children learn about the peace within each of us.'' --Renee Lajiness-O'Neil, Ph.D., Clinical Neuropsychologist, Associate Professor of Psychology, Michigan
 
''The writing is engaging and manages to convey a complex idea in simple terms. Dogi's illustrations are lively and engaging; each page is filled with the little things children love to discover in the pages of their favorite books. There is even a superhero - Frederick Firefly. At the end of the story, you just want to give someone a hug.'' --Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer, New York
 
''This gorgeously illustrated and beautifully written story is destined to become a classic in children's literature. The book's message is a powerful reminder that the source of love and power is within. I highly recommend this for child and adult alike.'' --David Welch, Producer of The Peaceful Warrior
 
''The illustrations are beautiful and amazingly detailed. They envelope the reader in the vibrant world of the story and bring the animals to luminous life. Children and adults will be enchanted.'' --Lyda Whiting, Awareness Magazine, Anaheim, California

Finalmente "In search of the light" da me interamente illustrato è uscito!

Vorrei ringraziare di cuore Leonard Jacobson per avermi dato la possibilità di lavorare con lui a questo progetto e per la gentilezza e la pazienza che ha avuto nell'aspettare che tutte le illustrazioni fossero completate. Il libro ha un sito tutto suo www.insearchofthelight.com!

In Search of the Light: the book is arrived!

I now have the copies of "In search of the Light" book in hand! Just arrived today...I can't believe it! The official release date is May 2011. I've been working for over 15 years creating illustrations for children's books but this is my very first fiction book! This book is dedicated to my Dad. I wish he could held the book in his hands.

Wow! Ho appena ricevuto le prime copie del libro intitolato "In search of the Light" interamente illustrato da me. Che emozione! Lavoro da tanti anni come illustratrice di libri per bambini ma questo è in assoluto il mio primo libro fiction. Dedico il libro a mio Babbo. Avrei tanto voluto lo tenesse tra le sue mani.
