Product Description
Product Description
Growing up in the modern world, our children have to cope with ever-increasing amounts of stress, which can hinder their development. The ancient wisdom of Buddhism, with its emphasis on peace, love and compassion, is the ideal basis for helping any child to face these challenges with inner confidence and calm. Building on the age-old art of storytelling, this beautiful book re-tells 20 ancient Buddhist tales in a way that is thoroughly fun and accessible to children. Featuring superb, full-page illustrations, the stories will transport kids into an imaginary world of enlightenment and discovery where they will meet delightful characters and discover an easy-to-understand Buddhist message - one that will help them think about how they can apply values such as patience, perseverance, honesty and generosity to their own lives. Designed to be read aloud by a parent or read by older children on their own, these compelling narratives provide a pleasurable, soothing transition into sleep.

Format:Paperback
This is a great book which has a good summary of Buddhism and child friendly meditation techniques. The stories are well told fable-type tales with a moral at the end, which although Buddist in origin would be acceptable common sense to most beliefs. It is a beautifully set out book, colourful with gorgeous illustrations. Best of all, enjoyed and looked forward to by my 4 and 7 year olds. This book can be read as a simple story book or used as a starting point for more in depth discussion.

spoilt by pictures & too strong a buddhist message
This book of quite sweetly told stories is spoilt by what look like computer generated pictures - and very poor ones at that, birds having virtually no bodies, for example. Read more
