A Buddhist monk from Vietnam named Thich Nhat Hanh lives at Plum Village, in France. Families from all over the world visit Plum Village to learn from him, as he has dedicated his life to peace and teaching others to live in a "mindful" way. Children call him Thay, which means "teacher." He believes that all people, kids and grown-ups, can help make the world a better place. Through warm illustrations, friendly photos, inspiring age-appropriate activities, and Thich Nhat Hanh's own poems, this first-of-its-kind biography introduces a great man to young children in a way they can understand and enjoy. Includes resources for parents and teachers, including a list of important words to know and a timeline of important events in the life of Thich Nhat Hanh.
