Synopsis:

Growing up in the modern world, our children can often feel distracted, stressed and anxious. The ancient wisdom of Buddhism, with its emphasis on peace, compassion and mindfulness, is the ideal basis for helping any child face the challenges of daily life with increased confidence and calm.

From the tale of Percy the ostrich and Kevin the snail, which teaches the importance of friendship, to that of Marina the mermaid and the golden shell, which will encourage your child to meet adversity with honesty and compassion, the stories are designed to both entertain and enlighten, helping to:

• develop your child's imagination and sense of creativity
• reassure your child about any worries they may have
• teach your child about empathy and showing compassion to others
• stimulate the imagination and enhance the creativity of your child
• boost your child's self-confidence
• encourage your child along the path of right living

About the Author: Dharmachari Nagaraja has been a practising Buddhist for over 20 years. Formerly head of the Covent Garden Meditation Centre in London and a regular presenter on BBC Radio 2's Pause for Thought, he now lives in Glasgow where he works as a Psychosynthesis Psychotherapist and teaches Counselling at the University of Glasgow. His passion for both Buddhism and storytelling lives on in this, his third book for Watkins in the popular At Bedtime series, all of which benefit from his appealing combination of warmth, wisdom, wit and playfulness.
