COMMENTS, THOUGHTS, & PRAISE
“I am a longtime believer that our environment is at great risk. However, I could never quite see a solution nor understand the dynamics involved or my role in it all. I felt it was somehow black and white, possibly unsolvable, and simply: “Just the way it is”.
The content of the story Listen Carefully, Please! is a sweet allegory that conveys a deep and powerful message that we all, no matter our age or experience, can learn from.
I had been somewhat oblivious to our central role in this dilemma. We are a large part of the problem! We can easily be and must be the solution. Many of us take a biblical view of the situation: Man was given dominion over the earth including all things and creatures, which inhabit it. Unfortunately, this is no longer a sustainable viewpoint. We must learn that we are partners with all the other beings who share our world, that Mother Earth is a living entity and that our long-held attitudes and actions no longer serve us.
Claudia Helt truly walks the talk and lives the solutions that her characters prescribe. She is a role model, and her books are a call to action. We must embrace and love the others who share this environment with us. Then we can embark on a journey of conscious living based on care, love, kindness, and forgiveness for each other. That is where the solution lies, and this delightful book lays it all out for us in a new, unique, and creative way.”

“I have been truly blessed to watch and listen to my young grandchildren. Time and time again I see them immediately stop their play when a rabbit, or mouse, or squirrel runs through a yard, or quickly come to a halt to listen and look at the seagulls at the beach or woodpeckers on a trail. Children intuitively connect to our natural world and our children will be the saviors of our planet.
Listen Carefully, Please! elaborates upon the experiences I witness with my Family. Through unique beautiful landscapes and precious connections made among animals, plants, and the children, the tale of the Earth’s present situation is told. This is a beautiful story.”
__ Maggie Martin
“When I was very young, I had a herd of stuffed animals, one of whom listened intently to me. I know she offered me comfort and love; there may have been words, but I forget. She is retired now, but I still have her tattered self. And now that I am old, my dog patiently teaches me to be a better human.
I do, however, wish I’d had the tales and truths of Listen Carefully, Please! in my youth—to teach me to be open to adventure, to listen with care and wonder, to breathe in the courage to become ever more willing to change, to walk gently and kindly in companionship with others, and, through this, to heal our fragile Earth. I am glad to have this witness now. You can be glad, too, at any age. May blessings abound.”
__ Patricia Green
“I want to live in Listen Carefully, Please! with these smart, sensitive, caring children and the equally ‘with it’ adults. And I want the adventures these children have talking to animals and watching the forest come alive before them. I want to live in a world where we love and respect the Earth and all its inhabitants with the wise and gentle spirit this story gives us. Listen Carefully, Please! proves to me that such a sea change from our unconscious and selfish way of treating the Earth and its inhabitants is not only necessary, it is possible. It is the greatest challenge and adventure of our lives.
The story demonstrates the awareness that is needed and the magical transformation that results from such a loving perspective towards all life. I believe Listen Carefully, Please! actually helps ignite this transformation within us, and for that reason alone, it is an important book to read, to pass on to friends, to get into libraries, to share with our children and grandchildren, and to cherish, for the work it can do within us to change our world. Read this book. Open your heart to its vital message. Let it change you, as it has changed me, and many others. We will be rewarded beyond measure for doing this work. The world needs us to do this for her, and Listen Carefully, Please! will show us the way.”
__ Posy Jackson
“Listen Carefully, Please! is a reminder for me that listening is done with more than just the ears. We need to pay attention to all aspects of communicating...a very important message for all of us.”
__ Joan Offerle
“Listen Carefully, Please!  is a challenge to all of us to pay attention to our thinking and participation in how we treat Mother Earth. The engaging story that everyone can relate to invites the reader to listen to the quiet but powerful messages that we receive from our animal friends. Claudia Helt feeds our soul in simple but thought provoking language that is shared through the actions of children who then teach their parents how to start really loving our environment. A must read for all mankind!”

Hello, Dear Reader!
Once upon a time, a book was written
on behalf of Mother Earth.
It was intended for everyone to read; however,
as is often the case,
the book was first written for adults.
Then the creators of the book realized
that they had erred in their decision.
The children were the ones
who would be most receptive to the story.
The children were the ones
who would listen carefully
to the messages of the story
and they would be the ones
who would help the adults
to understand the importance of the story.
The children are the ones
who will bring peace to the Earth.
The children are the ones
who will be the leaders
in making the Earth happy and well again.
So, this book is written especially
for all the young people
who will help Mother Earth
by teaching the older ones
how much She needs
their love and assistance.
