Mother Gaia Earth Rhymes – Collectors Deluxe Edition
by S. Mounu Riddell & The Pink Dog
Eco-Poetry for 21st-Century Children of All Ages
A love song for our planet — expanded, deepened, and brought fully to life.
Mother Gaia Earth Rhymes is more than a book… it is a journey into the heart of Earth, where playful rhyme meets profound truth, and where readers of all ages are invited not only to listen—but to awaken.
Presented in a spacious large-format paperback edition, this volume is designed to be opened, shared, and revisited—perfect for reading together, exploring in classrooms, or returning to in quiet moments of reflection.
Rooted in the joyful, musical spirit of classic Mother Goose, these eco-rhymes are lovingly reimagined for a world that is remembering how deeply it belongs to the Earth. Each poem carries a gentle rhythm, a spark of wonder, and a call to care—for rivers and roots, skies and soil, and the future we are all creating together.
Within these pages, you will discover:
A beautifully curated collection of Earth-honoring rhymes
A deeper journey into the origins of these poems in Whispers From The Earth
Heartfelt tributes to the great wayshowers—Rachel Carson, Wangari Maathai, Jane Goodall, and Greta Thunberg
Reflections and stories that deepen the connection behind the rhymes
A spacious, immersive reading experience meant to be savored
Created with joy, reverence, and a deep love for Mother Gaia, this edition invites readers to move beyond simply reading… and into feeling, remembering, and reconnecting.
Each of us—no matter how young or how old—can make a difference every day.
It may begin as simply—and as powerfully—as believing that a poem can change the world.
A premium hardcover edition is also available for those who wish to enjoy this work as a keepsake.
From the creators of MokshaDoodle Books, this Custom Deluxe Edition is an offering of hope, beauty, and possibility—a gentle yet powerful reminder that we are not separate from the Earth…
We are part of her song.
And she is calling us home.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PRAISE FOR MOTHER GAIA EARTH RHYMES “How sweet this is— you have put so much effort into it. I really like that you end each verse positively, and in a way to empower children, rather than leaving them feeling discouraged and sad about the state of the world. The drawings are also very sweet and luscious and rich. And your use of nursery rhyme cadence works so well. Congratulations on such a loving, empathic and endearing book. I’m sure it will inspire more awakening and consciousness about our shared home and the need to care for it as we care for our own bodies...” .....Rosanne Cash, Mother, Grandmother, Singer/Songwriter, Author ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “All praise to Mother Gaia Earth Rhymes! May children (of all ages) be encouraged and inspired through both the grief and the praise for our great Mother Earth. Expressive imagination is kindled through the generative, rhythmic texts and illustrations—surely to ignite children’s pure and necessary participation in our Great Turning. This is a deeply worthy resource for all parents and teachers who are in conversation with their children as to the Climate Crisis. Thanks to Mounu for this vital and loving offering!” ...........San-chi Shudo Reta Lawler, Roshi, Founder and director of the Morningside Zen Center of Boulder Colorado and Core Faculty Member of The Academy For The Love of Learning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Thank you, Mounu, for weaving heart-songs from Mother Gaia, grief for forgetting we are her children and inspiring calls of urge-agency to awaken to the joy and potential of re-membering our true heritage and destiny.” ……Dr Jude Currivan cosmologist, author and co-founder of WholeWorld-View ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “A captivating book with an important message that everyone needs to hear.

Dolphins told me that each one of us must start with a vision and then set priorities. Mother GAIA Earth Rhymes leads us on this journey.” .....Roberta Goodman, Co-founder with John Lilly of cetacean nation and research director of his Human Dolphin Foundation, Dolphin Expedition Guide, Co-author #1 Bestseller, Dolphins and Whales Forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “What a great idea to offer to our children a different vision of the world and its origins. What a beautiful story, full of love and compassion, the sort of Mother Gaia. This is what our kids need, more love, more feminine power, more empathy, and compassion. This is the time to create a society that respects diversity and equal opportunities for everyone. We all forgot about the essence and the power of Mother Nature, and here we are, facing a climate disaster that could end our existence, if we don’t make a change.

MokshaDoodle Books “At the heart of every MokshaDoodle tale is a playful plunge into the deep. Blending lighthearted whimsy with soulful wisdom, these books invite readers to breathe, laugh, and listen inward. Through rhythmic rhymes and vibrant visions, they explore mindfulness, stress relief, and the art of expanding consciousness—with a wink and a warm hug. Whether easing tension or tickling the spirit, each story is a lantern in the dark, guiding readers back to the joy, stillness, and sparkle within. S. mounu Riddell and her co-writer, The Pink Dog, share these books as offerings of love—woven with Light, Joy, Laughter, and healing wisdom. Their hope is simple: that every heart who visits this bookstore carries away a deeper connection with themselves, and a little more of their own Light to share with the world.” An early reader described their work as ‘Rumi meets Dr. Seuss’ and all their readers since have wholeheartedly agreed with this description. Their first book, ‘The Art of Bwaling-According to The Pink Dog’ was a Bronze Award Winner and a ‘Readers Favorite’ in an International publishing contest. As one professional reviewer for the contest said in part, “I loved the book, the concept, the messages in it, and the author’s way of handling a relevant topic in a different, refreshing, and unique way. I would say the book is definitely a must-read for everyone as the author, along with her Pink Dog, teaches us how to de-stress our lives without stressing too much.” All of their work focuses on Stress Relief from very stressful topics, and the exploration of our inner depths or as they refer to those depths, ‘The Tavern of the Divine.’ Although The Pink Dog got her wings a few years ago, she continues to connect with mounu in many ways. She continues to co-write, comfort and teach mounu on a daily basis. We hope you enjoy exploring many topics in our bookstore, and that you will share our books as gifts for all occasions.
