Carrot the Parrot: and the Island of Letting Go

In this enchanting, illustrated tale, a girl named Myra embarks upon an inspiring journey of meeting unexpected, loving companions along the way. Like Myra, we are gently invited on our own exploration, and are encouraged to find forgiveness and healing in letting go of "what remains too big to talk about yet too small a splinter to explain how much it still hurts."

Inspired by 12-step, Christian, and other spiritual teachings, Theresa Wyatt Prebilsky presents a tale of personal growth for grownups in a charming fairy-tale style that can be enjoyed by children. All are encouraged to ponder whom they'd like to have in their boat, as they step into their own soul journey toward more freedom and joy.

The story of Carrot has a winsome joy and innocence with a very serious, important message for children and grownups. I'm grateful that Carrot is ready to fly!.- Mary Fuller, Author The SheepKeeper Waits.

This is an important and beautiful book. Once I started reading, I could not stop as I felt connected with the characters and the storyline. I will recommend this book to clients and friends in order to connect with spirituality, trust, healing, and learning how to lean into third-step concepts and God's will.- Alana C. Smith, LCSW, LCDC

C.S.Lewis brought us Narnia, Aslan, the wardrobe, and creatures wrought through holy imagination. Madeleine L'Engle brought us A Wrinkle in Time with Mrs Who and Proginoskes. Theresa brings us her own cast of characters and magical place of transition and transformation through her holy imagination. Delightful, inspiring, joyful, and worth reading again and again.- Barbara Dyar, Spiritual Director and Author The Reference Point

Gentle, thoughtful, genuine, delightful, lovely-these are the words that come to heart when reading the story of one girl's journey, and reflecting on my own.- Rev. Carrie D. Hirdes
