Zen Shorts
By: Jon J Muth
I am certain you do not have to be a child to love children's books! Our family has a stack of these delightful books ready for the occasion of grandchildren, teachable moments, or simply to reconnect with the childish delight our souls long for.
In Zen Shorts, Jon Muth uses Stillwater a giant bear to teach Addy, Michael, and Karl the most amazing lessons of life. Addy learns of a poor man who gives gifts to a robber. Stillwater teaches Michael about a farmer who know that luck can be neither judged nor predicted. Lastly Karl learns of a tale about a monk who cdarries the weight of a burden long past.
The illustrations are amazing. The story lessons are for all ages. Zen Shorts is a Caldecott Honor Book and I understand why.
Happy Reading
