Nobel Peace Prize winners His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop
Desmond Tutu share their own childhood struggles to show young readers
how they can thrive and find joy even during the most challenging times
in this picture book adaptation of the international bestseller The
Book of Joy.
If you just focus on the thing that is making you sad, then the sadness
is all you see. But if you look around, you will see that joy is
everywhere.
In their only collaboration for children, His Holiness the Dalai Lama
and Archbishop Desmond Tutu use their childhood stories to show young
people how to find joy even in hard times and why sharing joy with
others makes it grow. The two spiritual masters tell a simple story,
vibrantly brought to life by bestselling illustrator Rafael López, of
how every child has joy inside them, even when it sometimes hides, and
how we can find it, keep it close, and grow it by sharing it with the
world.
Sprung from the friendship, humor, and deep affection between these holy
men, the book is a perfectly timed and important gift from two revered
spiritual leaders to children. It is a reminder that joy is abundant--no
matter what challenges we face--and has the power to transform the world
around us even in the darkest of times.
