What a delightfully refreshing children's book! Om Baby is for the very special Children of Now that are gracing our planet. It is a very simply written book from 2010, in hard cover, nicely illustrated on every page, with peaceful colors of nature. There are 44 pages in all (ahhhh-the number of the angels). It is a spiritual-based book and is even printed on recycled paper and soy-based ink.
Om Baby is a cool little dude. He has only ONE eye because he sees the world and all beings as one. He believes in love, peace, and unity. And he wears the Om symbol close to his heart to remind him that he is a child of the universe. He was inspired by the author's son. She wanted to create a children's book character who would help to teach her own child about our responsibility to the earth and to each other. (WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA!!!) (BTW--for each Om Baby book made, a tree is planted.)
Om Baby is a cute little guy, his face similar to the Egyptian Eye of Horus. As stated, he wears the Om symbol on his clothing and he is smiling, happy, and peaceful in every picture. He is about loving people, being peaceful, being kind to animals, believing in the power of his mind, reading, loving science, art, mystery, and adventure. He eats his green veggies, does yoga, sings, dances, and believes in love, truth and community in a multicultural society. He even plants trees and recycles and he believes in his dreams.
Again, each page is nicely illustrated in pictures that I believe children would enjoy. Even the details in some of the pictures are important and well thought out. For example, where "Om Baby likes to read"--he is sitting on Mom or Dad's lap in a rocking chair and they are reading a book. In the background are bookshelves with other books, with the names of the books facing out. Some of these titles are: The Light Within; Family; Healing; Star Children; Happiness; Our Planet Earth; Meditation; Joy; Peace; Natural Time. There is even a pyramid and 2 smiling stuffed toys on the shelves. Some other interesting details are energy swirls here and there, a circle to represent unity, mother earth with a mother and child embedded on it, yoga and meditation poses, windmill power, a yin yang symbol, hearts and smiling faces everywhere--heck--even the animals are smiling!
This is such a nice book to read and give to your child! Said to be for ages 6 and under, primarily, but I enjoyed it myself.

New heroes are needed for our fastly evolving society & finding a unique, compassionate one is rare...Om Baby is that hero that resides in the knowing heart of us humans. He & his world is superbly envisioned & crafted, combining fantasy & basic human values to enthrall & educate young audiences in simple right ways of livelihood. Spiritual lessons are often disguised in children's literature. Here is an example of that: Om Baby is for all ages! It is a book to share, read again & again & save for future inspiration & generations.

Om Baby is a magical story of oneness and beauty. You and your child will love getting lost in the whimsical beauty of the illustrations, and the simple and pure narrative. It is a rarity to find a children's book that talks so poetically about family, love, spirituality, and peace.
-Laura Sherman, Graphic Designer
"Om Baby, Child of the Universe" written by first time author/illustrator Schamet Horsfield is a beautiful book for children inspired by the birth of her own child. The brightly colored and detailed illustrations will engage children as well as amuse adults with their clever use of symbols and cultural references. It's message of empowerment of children will be appreciated by parents looking to enrich their children's spiritual values. Highly recommended.
