Parables of Love, Compassion, and Community
Inspired by thousands of years of Chinese thought, here is an enchanting and heart-opening illustrated fable, about a young boy who explores the many ways to make meaning, and find joy, in the everyday.
"Sometimes you can only do a small, small thing. And that can make all the difference."
Examining the world through the lenses of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, their conversations convey tender, uplifting messages for life’s various crossroads.
As they adopt a sparrow, bathe in rivers, comfort their neighbours, and tend to their chores, the characters’ different perspectives are reflected in their conversations: the boy’s Taoist love of nature and all it entails, the ox’s Buddhist compassion for others, and the rabbit’s Confucian practice of mutual respect and care.
While they don’t always agree, the friends settle on the basic truth that purpose comes from simply engaging with life – and with each other.
The young boy, ox, and rabbit thoughtfully navigate love, loss, and connection, learning how to live happily in an often stormy world.
Painted in a contemporary gongbi style, one of the oldest continuous art forms in the world, the atmospheric illustrations from Taiwanese-American artist, Regina Linke, conjure a timeless, mystical land where the friends have made their home.
The potent combination of magnificent art and gentle revelations will capture the hearts of readers, whatever their age.
