Book Description
The basic teachings of the Buddha for young people, interpreted by Thich Nhat Hanh, in accessible, modern language and with lovely illustrations. Drawn from his Dharma talks to young people, Thich Nhat Hanh uses vivid metaphors, original allegories, and colorful stories to help young people learn about handling anger, living in the present moment, and "interbeing" - the interconnectedness of all things. This venerable Buddhist teaches various practices that children can do alone or with others that will help them to transform anger and unhappiness and reconnect to the wonders of nature and the joy of living in the present moment.

This review is from: A Pebble for Your Pocket (Paperback)
While many children's books deal with fiction this book speaks of the reality of here and now. It is thought provoking on a child's level teaching spirituality and awareness. My six year old seems to enjoy listening to the stories.

Anything by this author is good.,

My daughter (2) is a little young for this book yet, but I read it and think it is wonderful for children. If you have children about 6 or older who are having a difficult time or are angry about something, this book would be great. Even if your children are happy though, there are wonderful lessons here for everyone and that can help the world to become a more peaceful place.

This is a fun book that my daughter and I are reading together. She is 8 and I wanted to teach her some of the Buddhist precepts I find character building. She loves the stories.
