Jim Carrey to Publish Metaphysical Children’s Book

Posted on by Tammy

Actor Jim Carrey recently revealed his plans to self-publish a metaphysical children’s book called “How Roland Rolls,” in a recent interview about his new movie The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.

“I’m going to self-publish because that is just the world right now, and I think it’s cool,” Carrey said during the interview. “It’s going to be beautifully illustrated, and it’s a story about a wave named Roland who is afraid that one day when he hits the beach his life will be over. But when he gets deep, he is struck by the notion that he’s not just a wave he’s the whole big wide ocean. So it’s a metaphysical children’s book and it deals with a lot of serious things in a fun way.”

Carrey is also an Honorary Founder of Gate (Global Alliance for Transformation Entertainment) along with best-selling author and spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, and he has spoken about his own spiritual side at the group’s conferences in California.

Two New Conscious Parenting Children’s Books

We found two new children’s books for conscious parents to share with their kids. The first is “The Day an Angel Ran into My Room,” by Anabelle Valenzuela. It tells the story of six-year-old Alessandra, who meets her guardian angel in her bedroom after asking her mother if she could stay up for an extra five minutes.

The angel explains how every person is very important in the universe, how every action we take causes a reaction, the importance of visualization, and much more. The story teaches children that they are never alone, that we all have a guardian angel by our side, and how our thoughts and actions have the power to change our world.

The second book, “Princess Addison Gets Angry” by Molly Martin, is a short book depicting a princess who gets very angry when it’s starts to rain and she can’t play outside. She throws a tantrum, and her mother explains to her how there are better ways to vent her feelings.
