About the Book

A profound journey of childhood wonder, resilience, and spiritual awakening

In the eyes of a child, the world is full of magic—where meadows become sanctuaries, clouds transform into pillows, and peace and harmony are constant companions.

But life isn't always peaceful. Between the chaos of school buses and sibling teasing, homework and chores, this young explorer discovers something extraordinary: a sixth sense beyond the physical world. A presence that brings serenity when life becomes overwhelming.

When a devastating hurricane strikes their family, forcing a journey from carefree days to the reality of a community rebuilding after being ravaged by nature’s fury, our young narrator learns profound lessons about gratitude, empathy, and the fragility of the world we take for granted.

Through A Child's Eyes: Eyes of Discovery is a beautifully illustrated story that captures the pure, untainted perspective of childhood—the wonder, the struggles, and the awakening of spiritual awareness that often fades as we grow older. This contemplative and poetic book is perfect for readers who loved The Little Prince and Where the Wild Things Are, and for anyone seeking to reconnect with the innocent wisdom of their own inner child.

About the Author

George’s early days were not focused on academic career goals. He was athletic. But team sports were not appealing to Him. The martial arts were appealing. While in school, George engaged in Taekwondo (Korean Martial Arts) and wrestling, but his dad put the boxing gloves on George when he was just five, and it became part of his personal identity. He was really good at it, too. But his whole heart was not into boxing, although just about no one ever made it through the first round with him as he moved forward to become a professional boxer. He was drawn deeply into Christianity, also. George felt that God, Almighty, had gifted him with tremendous boxing skills. George looked at his parents as his own personal career guides.

This book truly brings out a child's mindset. How innocent they are to the world, to their feelings, everything that's happening in their own little world. The book shows the insights of how a child lives a weekend out camping, where he gets scared, bored, excited. Where he notices the little sounds and sights nature gives you. The excitement he was when he caught his first fish was heart warming. I have a child of my own and reading this through his eyes really helped me see how children think, how they're brains aren't develop like an adults is, its the innocence that made me enjoy the read

Through a Child’s Eyes: Eyes of Discovery by George Leonard Hayes Reading Through a Child’s Eyes: Eyes of Discovery by George Leonard Hayes feels like stepping into the world the way a child sees it—full of wonder, questions, and quiet moments of discovery. The book reminds us that children do not just look at the world; they explore it with curiosity, imagination, and open hearts.

As I read the pages, it felt like walking through fields, listening to the wind, and noticing the small details adults sometimes forget to see. The story invites readers to slow down and experience life the way a child might—where nature feels magical, thoughts feel big, and every moment holds the possibility of learning something new. The author gently shows how a child’s perspective can turn ordinary moments into meaningful discoveries.

First of all, I would not call this a children's book, nor would I really encourage my 6 year old to read this. The writing is beautiful, but doesn't really give off "childlike". The art work was nice. I feel a weird divide on this book. The artwork and title suggest a fun children's book, but the content not so much. It came off Sorento me as a book for adults, a reminder that everything we do as adults can effect our children.

George is someone who feels small sometimes, but also really brave inside. When grown-ups don’t understand him, it makes his chest feel tight, like he’s holding a secret. That’s too big to hide. But he keeps trying anyway. George’s courage feels huge, even when he’s scared. The unfair moments hit hard. Friendship becomes a kind of magic, one good friend can make the whole world feel safer. Kids connect with it because they know what it’s like to have big feelings in a small body. They understand wanting to show the world who they really are.

My experience is two-fold

My experience is two-fold, from bad to extremely good. Two United nitwits first published my book without consulting me. It was full of errors. It all changed when Jeffrey Collins, Author Success Manager, took charge of my account. He is a master of his trade, and United Book Publishers Company successfully republished my book. I have self-published eight other books with various companies, but United gets the gold.

I couldn’t be any happier with my publishing experience with United Book Publishers! From the moment I started working with them, I felt like my story truly mattered. Their attention to detail and commitment to perfection was evident in every step of the process, from refining my content to expertly publishing on multiple platforms. Aron and his team took the time to understand my vision, and the results were beyond my expectations. Choosing them was the best decision I could’ve made for my book!

If you’re looking for a publishing partner that’s professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend United Book Publishers. You won’t be disappointed!

First Class All the Way

First, United Book Publishers has the very best book cover design prices that I could find. 2nd, they are very caring and attentive. My first conversation was with Aron Parker, Chief Publishing Officer, who was lovely. Later, I was dealing with Sr. Consultant, Jordan Marshall, who was just as nice as he could be, listening to me, making suggestions, and faithfully reporting what I wanted to the artist.The end result was a seriously beautiful book cover that conveys the spirit of the book and the meaning of the contents. Great experience!

A 80 year old first time publisher!

I'm an 80 year old, first time publisher, Investigating all the claims of book publishers, including self publishing led me to United Book Publishers.

When I mentioned that I was hosting my book through the Non-Profit foundation, Global Prefab Systems Foundation, they were quick to advise that there was an additional $100 discount for Non-Profit organizations.

That individual was Mike Amiri. What started out as a professional business relationship, has evolved into a personal friendship, that I now feel deeply connected to Mike.

Editing and publishing the book "Hideaways--within and outside my polygamist family"

I especially liked the UBP people I worked with. They have been helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and resilient. The book was very complex and challenging to edit and publish. Areas of suggested improvement are professional editing, communications (mutual understanding, timely, and consistent). I am well pleased with the completed project.
