Travel with Bodhi through seek-and-find illustrations as she takes a
plane, boat, and tuk-tuk to explore a new country and culture in
vibrant, bustling Bangkok, Thailand.
Bodhi is high above the clouds, in a plane on her way to Thailand. She's
never been to the city named Bangkok, and she's not certain what sights,
sounds, and experiences await her there. Stepping into the streets,
Bodhi suddenly finds herself a long way from home and not sure if she
belongs in this new place. The city is a symphony of noises with horns
beeping, engines roaring, and people speaking in Thai.
But after visiting the golden temple and quieting her mind, Bodhi begins
to see that Thailand is not that different from home after all. Trees
still grow tall, kids play games just like her friends, and a smile is
the same in every language. With this new outlook, Bodhi opens her heart
to the kindness and compassion already within and realizes that even
though she is far away from the place she calls home, she is right where
she belongs amongst the busy streets, Loi Krathong celebrations, and
floating markets of Bangkok.
