Today we hear from Nishat Firdous Jehan Ali, creator of My Loving World, on her first book love and inspiration, The Giving Tree:
From Nishat:
My favorite book that gives me so much inspiration, hope, and passion for children’s books, is Shel Silverstein’s classic “The Giving Tree”. The story is simple yet so meaningful. A tree deeply loves a boy and gives him everything she possibly can until she literally has only her stump left. When that is all she has left, he sits on her stump and shows that one’s presence alone is all one needs for love. It is a story of unconditional love and demonstrating the simplicity yet most meaningful form of care, being there for someone. “The Giving Tree” truly resonates with me, and to this day that book is my inspiration.
As a first time author, when creating the children’s picture book, "My Loving World”, I used "The Giving Tree" as my guide for a simple yet meaningful creation. I wanted to develop a smooth and thought provoking book that cares most about the message of oneness, love, and inclusion, for our readers. Adding to this, our illustrator, Hector Ivan Garcia, focused more on the diversity of children in our book rather than backgrounds. "The Giving Tree" is an ideal example for in so many ways.
As a 4th grade teacher in Chicago, I always read "The Giving Tree"on our first day of school with the kids. I am so excited to begin this tradition with "My Loving World".

Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. mens slim fit leather jacket
Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.
There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…

This post beautifully conveys the themes of love, oneness, and inclusion in Nishat Ali’s book. I appreciated your thoughtful reflections on the societal implications of these ideas. The way you explained the topic was very clear and helpful. I recently saw a discussion on https://www.rosedalewellness.com/ that also touched on the link between mindfulness, inclusivity, and well-being—it was quite enlightening.
