Product Description

Review

'A timeless tale at ease with the rhythm of life and death, and perfect for a child who likes to ponder the imponderables.' --Guardian

'This exquisitely illustrated story is told with impressive economy, embracing as it does life, death, the universe and everything. And there's a happy ending.' --Guardian

'My little boy loves looking at the pictures and choosing all the different possible destinies. It's also helped him grasp the concept of other worlds and to find a context for understanding the cycle of life and death.' --Caduceus


Product Description

The adventures of a little boy who lives high in the mountains of Tibet. The boy dreams of visiting other countries when he grows up, but instead he becomes a woodcutter, and soon his life is over. On his journey through death and back to life, he travels much further than his earthly life. Inspired by The Tibetan Book of the Dead, this book combines simple language and dazzling pictures to introduce children to reincarnation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just So Beautiful, 10 Dec 2007
This is a wonderful book. It is beautifully written and illustrated. My daughter loves it. It is simple, yet holds great depth, as with all the best stories. A gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book introducing children to the concept of death, 10 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book explores the "endless universe that some call heaven". It can be read on any religious level. Both of my sons have read this book many times over the years from age 4 upwards and understood it on various levels as they have grown up. They have lost both of their grandads within the space of 6 months and i am sure that their loss would have been harder had they not been certain that they were both living another life that they had both chosen. Jamie(9) says: " This is my dads favourite book. I think everybody should have a choice to be whatever they want if this story is true. Rory(7) says: "This book is really good. Anyone who reads it should like it. I think it was sad when the woodcutter died but I am glad he came back to live another life flying a kite and I really liked the picture on the front of the book"

4.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 20 April 2009
By Ms. L. Bateman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have given this book several times as a gift to the children of friends. I think it is a lovely alternative to the 'normal' notions of what happens when you die. It is positive and has proven to inspire and excite children [my nephew wants to come back as a whale!]. It provokes debate into what you might come back as when you are reincarnated and makes parents 'think outside the box' a bit!
