you thought:
What if I try a little...
becoming?

And as soon as you thought it,
it started to happen.
(That’s how powerful you are!)
Whatever you thought of,
you started to become!

You Are Everything takes readers on a journey that begins before the existence of space and time and ends in the present day. Illustrated by Iranian-American artist Shilla Shakoori, the story is a cosmically inclusive embrace of our interconnectedness. 

With each turn of the page your transformation unfolds from a being that just is to one that becomes the world around us. And if you can take a moment off from all the doing that you do, author Arabian suggests, and let yourself simply be, you may realize that you are not just one person -- you are also everything in the universe.

Readers who are inspired by Rumi and stories from Persian mystics or anyone interested in mindfulness and a greater awareness of being in the world will love You Are Everything.

Praise for You Are Everything

Praise for The Donkey's Gone by Arabian and Shakoori:
“The Donkey’s Gone teaches us a very important lesson in a fun way. I recommend it for kids and their parents!” – Maz Jobrani
“The Donkey's Gone recasts for children a story from Rumi's Masnavi. The tale is charmingly retold and very attractively illustrated; everything important in the original story is there. The book is like a tasty, and quietly healthy, little treat, for children and grown-ups alike, and I feel sure that Rumi would have enthusiastically approved.” – Dick Davis, emeritus Professor of Persian, Ohio State University
“The Donkey’s Gone is a humorous and deep story by the beautiful teacher Rumi.” – Omid Safi, Professor of Islamic Studies; Founder, Illuminated Courses and Tours
