I have three kids - all boys - and being around them either gives me peace of mind or chaotic heartbeats. It's never easy raising a bunch of kids but I thought I could manage. However, when I chanced upon the book, The Peaceful Lion and the Nagging Crow, it seems like a whole new world was opened up for me.Essentially, this is a story about a lion that had been quiet and living peacefully, while a rowdy crow did nothing but pester and make the lion angry. I was appalled by the behavior of the crow; he actually represented a bully constantly picking on someone else, testing their emotions. But what surprised me more was the calmness of the big lion amidst the chaos that the annoying crow brings. For how long did the lion keet up with the crow’s antics, that I won't reveal. The great thing about this book is the lesson that my kids were able to learn after reading and understanding Peaceful Lion's advice. Like I said, this book opened up a whole new world for me! Me and my little boys' world now becomes more peaceful and serene.For those who want to teach their child how to deal with bullies or control their anger and accept gifts, this is the best book I'd highly recommend. I'm giving two thumbs up for Assaf Marcus for a distinctly effective way of spreading the message of peace and value of gift-giving among people.
