---

Calm your child’s mind before bedtime with 18 beautifully illustrated Buddhist stories full of enchanting characters and empowering messages on kindness, compassion, and honesty.

Also included: introductory overviews for parents, plus gentle mindfulness meditations to help enhance calm and contentment

Growing up in the modern world, our children have to cope with an ever-increasing amount of stress, which can feel worrying to both them and us. The ancient wisdom of Buddhism, with its emphasis on peace, mindfulness and compassion, is the ideal basis for helping any child face these challenges with inner confidence and calm.

Building on the age-old art of storytelling, this calming, warm-hearted read-aloud will provide kids with a soothing transition to sleep—while empowering them to think about how they can apply Buddhist values to their own lives. The book includes:

• 18 ancient Buddhist tales that are fun and accessible for kids ages 4-8
• Original, full-page illustrations to draw readers into the heart of each story
• Key lessons on compassion, patience, honesty, authenticity, and more
• Gentle mindfulness meditations for any time of day

From the friendship-focused “Percy Wins the Prize” to “The Gentle Dragons”’s central message of kindness and compassion, these stories will transport young readers into imaginary worlds of enlightenment, contentment, and discovery!
