“Inside is your self. Inside is your home. Inside you will find lots of thoughts, feelings and memories.”

How do you explain the concept of consciousness to a child? This concept book aims to do just that by giving it an easier name—the “inside,” an abstract place where your self and home are found, along with many thoughts, feelings and memories that come and go. But you stay.

Inside encourages children to meditate on the self and the home that they carry with them wherever they go. The self is connected to them very much like the snail’s shell is connected to its body. Wherever they go, they are at home because they always have their self with them.
