Meet Ginger Smudge!
| Ginger
Smudge is the little green guy you see in the pictures on this
web site. He is the creation of Michael Arthur Finberg, with artistic
assistance from Heidi A. Green. |
 |
| Ginger
Smudge expresses abstract concepts with fun images and descriptions
that appeal to children (adults like him too). Although he is
strictly non-denominational, his philosopy is based on Tibetan
Buddhist ideas about mind, consciousness, and the nature of existence.
Kids from all over the world have been asked what they think of
Ginger Smudge, and they all recommend him most highly. |
|
In
his first book, we meet Ginger Smudge in his bedroom, just as
he is about to go to sleep. He tells us about the friendly and
informative "dream things" who play with him, talk
with him, and help him figure things out as he sleeps. Ginger
Smudge's games and talks with his dream thing friends leave
him feeling good about himself, the world, and the "big
thing" who oversees it all. No nightmares for Ginger Smudge!
