The first-ever biography of visionary peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) illustrates his remarkable life and inspirational teachings specifically for children ages 5-9—and celebrates what would have been his 100th birthday
Thich Nhat Hanh, the revered world spiritual leader nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. and called “the father of mindfulness” by TIME Magazine, lived a fascinating life. Born in Vietnam, his 95-year—nearly century-long!—path of transformation included political exile and spanned multiple continents. After a long life of dedicated activism, Thich Nhat Hanh became known for how the insight he had when he was just a little boy changed the world. If you pay attention, he realized, everything you see is special.
In the pages of this book, learn why it’s worthwhile to savor a sweet treat, the secret weapon for strength you carry everywhere you go (hint: kids do it 20-30 times per minute!), and how horrible challenges like living through a war can make you a kinder, wiser person. Moving stories from award-winning author Minh Lê (Drawn Together, Let Me Finish) and warm watercolors from Cátia Chien will captivate children and parents alike along this journey through the years with the irreplaceable Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
Released in honor of Thay’s 100th birthday, this book is both a tribute and a timeless introduction to a man whose life continues to inspire generations.
