Description: A very child-friendly introduction to Buddhism. The focus in the book is a real child who is involved in a key event associated with Buddhism. This approach allows the author to present basic information about the faith, its beliefs and ways of worship through the eyes of a child of that faith. The setting is in THailand. The photographs are a key feature of these large-format books, giving young readers a privileged view of very personal aspects of children's faith and the role it plays in their everyday lives. -- Publisher details.
