There are books, stories, poems, music and movies that as children and adults we revisit often in life. Their familiarity seems to reassure us that the curves and bumps in life's road will somehow even themselves out if we just hold fast and take the lesson in stride. In its purest form, The Sage of Baby Divine, is one of those simple reads that offers that reassurance for anyone who's felt marginalized or isolated by their circumstances. It's light and whimsical nature might be written off as literary fluff by some yet, its simplicity and language rhyme are its unpretentous strength and are, in fact, what carries the message without preaching. I rememebr a few years back being with a friend who was suffering from a low point in her life and I was uncertain of what to say to her that would ease her confusion and disharmony. So, I told her to put her pajamas on and hop in to bed because I had a story I wanted to read to her, The Sage of Baby Devine. Amongst the giggles and tears, a sense of clarity overcame us both and a lightness filled the room. I signed a message in the book and gave it to her and told her that this was one of those "bumps in the road" recovery tools she should keep in her nightstand. Recently, I had my own bump in the road and realized that I was "Babyless." Luckily I was able to track one down on eBay and a week later settled in for a reread of my own. I was pleased to see that the simple charm and grace of this book are still intact all these years later. davis M.Read full review
The story reads like a poem or lyrics to a song. The illustrations can only be described as wildly psychedelic or trippy. I've now bought three copies of this book over the years to give as a gift to those who would appreciate it. This book is truly a gem.

the pages of the book are warped and moldy. I'm a bit sad. I guess I didn't read well that the book was damaged.
