What if there was a way to introduce a young person to the power of their own thoughts, the importance of self-love, and the universal laws that govern all of us, through stories they actually want to read?
That's exactly what Ivy and Kem & the Seven Universal Principles does.
Often described as the Kybalion for kids, this beautifully illustrated book takes the ancient wisdom of the seven Universal Principles and brings it to life through the modern, relatable adventures of two lively pre-teens. Each chapter pairs a short story starring Ivy and Kem with a clear explanation of one principle, written in a way that a child can understand and a parent can build on.
The seven principles, Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender, are timeless natural laws rooted in more than 5,000 years of wisdom. Together, they teach young readers how their thoughts shape their reality, how to find emotional balance, and how to move through life with greater confidence and self-awareness.
Written for ages 8 to 12, the book has resonated with teens and adults just as deeply. Parents and educators use it as a read-aloud and conversation starter, and many adults find themselves reflecting on the principles long after the last page.
If you've been looking for a way to plant these seeds in a young person's life, or to explore universal law yourself through a fresh lens, this is your book.

Several years ago, the Seven Universal Principles along with other spiritual teachings helped me make sense of things and live more aligned with my purpose. My career has focused on marketing and business services for many years. But the importance of sharing this knowledge with young people moved me to write this book.
It is my hope that young readers will begin practicing the principles, make more sense of the things around them, and always feel supported—even when things seemingly don’t go their way.
Peace.
This is the most beautifully written book that that takes a high conscience concept like the Kybalion, and converts it to a format that younger generations can comprehend. Everything from the way it's written to the drawings are perfectly executed.
I gave a copy to my teenage niece and she loves it! It is helping her overstand things.
This book is amazing! It breaks down the principles so easy for my children to understand. I even see myself thinking about Ivy and Kem in my own adult life. A must read for all growing kids!
This is an excellent read, though it’s for children I found it refreshing, encouraging and full of practical reminders for us adults. Be sure to get you a copy. You will definitely enjoy it.
Love illustrations and written content perfect for young minds.
I love this book because I feel like we are living in a time where our children need to understand the basic laws of loving themselves, believing in themselves, trusting themselves and figuring out the difference between wrong and right more than ever...
