| Note | A story about the power of compassion, the guidance of dreams, the gift of healing and the ability to love deeply and let go. This is a beautifully illustrated story of a young Tibetan boy's efforts to care for a wounded deer aptly reflects the compassionate and caring values pervading Tibetan culture. Barbara Soros draws on the ancient wisdom of the Tibetan people to narrate the touching story of a young boy named Tenzin and the wounded musk deer he encounters in the woods. By paying heed to his dreams and to the needs of the animal he has rescued, Tenzin is able to cure the deer. But soon he discovers that he must learn one of the most important lessons of all: how to love deeply enough to let go. The lush, intricate illustrations evoke the emotional depth of this tale that encourages the Buddhist virtues of nonviolence, compassion and the rejection of materialism. |
