Buddha and the Rose: A Mindfulness Story for Kids

A beautifully illustrated picture book tells the myth of the Buddha and a simple rose.

Buddha smiled as Sujata, the milkmaid, approached with rice puddling to break his fast. As she gazed at the Buddha and the rose, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and was forever changed. A subtle, powerful, and calming story about our connection with nature and the universe that connects us all. Wellness expert Mallika Chopra and illustrator Neha Rawat bring this simple yet poignant story of awareness, wonder, and the joy of being present to life. This book is marked as being for readers ages 4 to 8.
