Praise for ‘A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul’

"I wish I had this book when I was bringing up my own children. “Dad, where was I before

I was born?” “Dad, why are you and Mum my parents?” Becci Valentine helps out all of us

who have struggled to talk to our children and make sense of the enigma of existence. Not

that Becci would use a phrase like “enigma of existence”! This little book is a treasure. In a

gentle, playful way, Becci takes us into a world of colour and richness. We remember that

we too once dwelt “far away from planet earth.” We remember how exciting it is to come to

loving parents. We revisit a world of innocence and potential. The illustrations by Jasmine

Bailey are a perfect accompaniment to the text, quirky, and fi lled with glorious colours. Just

like the warmth and beauty of that “…place above the stars, far away from Planet Mars…”

‘A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul’ is a perfect gift for expecting parents, and

for expecting grand parents. Thank you Becci".

John Franz

"There’s a beautiful warmth and generosity in ‘A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating

Soul’ that will be valuable at different stages of incarnation – especially when read aloud.

The gentle language and the knowledge behind it will be enriching for prospective

parents as they await the birth of a precious soul. Then the repetition and rhythm, so akin

to a nursery rhyme, will resonate in infants through the voice of their parent. And as the

child begins to question, the text and illustrations, provide an opportunity for

important sharing. I have known Becci for many years, as a very caring young mother and

now a grandmother who has long been committed to exploring the purpose of the soul’s

incarnation. This book is a delightful outcome".

"The spiritual journey of welcoming a new soul into this world, will resonate beautifully for

parents, through the sound of their own voices giving it shape and colour, in reading aloud

this delightfully written and illustrated picture book. It offers parents and loved ones, an

entry point through storytelling and the simple fun of rhythm and repetition, to sow seeds of

knowing in the new soul, for a life-long relationship, in this world, with the starry realms of

their spiritual home".

Trisha Cahill

"...Becci’s illustrated book entitled ‘A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul’ is a breath

of fresh air and a valuable resource for parents with young children. The work offers a

perspective from ‘the other side’, that is, viewing earthly existence from the perspective

of the world beyond. It offers young hearts and minds the opportunity to stay connected

with the invisible realms and to affi rm the deep interconnections that they have with their

parents and other members of the family. This has to do with the life blueprint that a child

is born with, and the purposes set in the heavens that are potentials to be fulfi lled in the

unfolding of the life that lies ahead...I recommend ‘A Place Above the Stars: The Incarnating Soul’ to any parent who wants to strengthen the soul of their child with spiritual concepts and imaginative content that resonates with the truth of what it means to commence the journey of life in the body, and the importance of knowing one’s origins".
