About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of fairness or needs help understanding the ripple effects of their daily choices. Demi's collection of Jataka tales serves as a gentle moral compass, providing a soft landing for discussions about why being kind and honest matters in the long run. The stories illustrate that every action, no matter how small, contributes to the peace we find within ourselves and the world around us. Through these ten parables, children are introduced to the core tenets of Buddhist thought, such as compassion for all living things and the power of patience. The book is visually stunning with gold-leaf style illustrations that command a sense of reverence and calm. It is an ideal pick for families looking to introduce spiritual diversity or for any parent wanting to nurture a child's internal sense of integrity. The language is accessible for elementary-aged readers, making it a soothing choice for a bedtime wind-down or a quiet afternoon of shared reflection.
