I have been reading (and rereading) these beautiful Buddhist stories to my children, ages 6 and 8, every night. Rewritten from the traditional, this version is child-centric, sensitively written, thought (and conversation) provoking and actually relate to everyday life. My intention was to read one per night but my children beg me to read "Just one more. Just one more". In spite of the fact that I am no Buddhist, it is hard to imagine a child, parent, teacher or educator who wouldn't benefit from reading this delightful, well written book.

Sure to be a best seller, this collection of previously published magazine articles is Orlean at her most radiant. In spite of the fact that I am not drawn to collections, I found this book so full of evocative, brilliant and insightful stories that I couldn't, simply wouldn't, put it down. Her writing is so descriptive, so visual and so appreciative of all those she profiles, it makes me question whether I actually see the world through the same lens. Perhaps now I will.
