In this charming and accessible picture book, Ian Lendler and Xanthe
Bouma offer a heart-warming account of the childhood of the Buddha.
A spoiled young prince, Siddhartha got everything he ever asked for,
until he asked for what couldn't be given---happiness.
Join Little Sid as he sets off on a journey of discovery and encounters
mysterious wise-folk, terrifying tigers, and one very annoying mouse.
With Lendler's delightful prose and Bouma's lyrical artwork, Little
Sid weaves traditional Buddhist fables into a classic new tale of
mindfulness, the meaning of life, and an awakening that is as profound
today as it was 2,500 years ago.
