"Lupa and the Yumi Tree" is about the quest of a young girl named Lupa to solve the mystery of how to BE in the world. Learning to appreciate the differences between people and to celebrate their essences, souls or spirits, enables everyone in the story to eventually appreciate each other for who they really are. In an age where we seem to be on the cusp of a major shift in global consciousness, the message of Lupa is positive and refreshing to young and old alike.
