The Pond of Reflection
By
Catherine Ann Russell
Illustrated By
Brooke Connor
Book 1 in The Pearls Of Wisdom Series
Stories inspired by a Biblical Proverb
As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.
Prov 27:19 (NIV)
Content in her father’s wise kingdom, Princess Journee loves life but has one nagging question: Who is she? Yes, she is a mouse and a princess, but who is she really? With her adventurous spirit and her father’s mighty steed to protect her, she goes on a quest to find herself. The adventure takes an interesting turn when she befriends a toad and an owl who tell her about a legendary Pond of Reflection known to reveal one’s true identity. But first they must find it, if indeed it exists. Their friendship and appreciation for each other grow as they encounter difficulties along the way, and strange happenings in the ancient Whoami Forest.
Is the Pond of Reflection magic? Is it simply a solitary place to reflect on who you are? What will the legendary water show Journee and her friends? And more importantly, what will the Pond of Reflection show you when you look into its mysterious water and reflect on your own heart?
This adventure story is inspired by the Biblical Proverb 27:19 (NIV) and communicates the moral that identity and self-worth springs from heart and character (our inside-out), thus sincere friendship can happen regardless of how different outward appearance may be (our outside-in).
