YUKA THE RED PANDAⓇ series:
Adventures of a curious little light worker
in search of experiences, beauty, and wisdom.
SYNOPSIS: Yuka takes a walk in a pine forest, meets a good friend, plays until twilight, and watches the sky change colors. It‘s the first time they are seeing the northern lights. After a night of dancing lights, Yuka and friend find a place to sleep at the base of a pine tree, fall asleep under the stars and dream of the colors of the night ...
A wordless narrative ending with words of affirmation. Created for highly sensitive souls, starseeds, neurodivergent individuals, toddlers, seniors, and anyone in between looking to downregulate their nervous system before going to sleep.
Through mostly wordless narratives, more experienced readers are encouraged to reconnect with their inner child, weaving their own language, words, expressions, interpretations and stories appropriate to the moment, thereby fostering imagination and allowing for personalized reflections aligned with one's culture, values, and belief systems. Yuka is not gender or racially defined so everyone can connect in a way that is inclusive to their own reality. If nothing else, the charm and poetry of the images will bring pleasure to anyone who is sensitive to this aesthetic and/or subject matter.
