Overview

Letting Go - Knowing Yourself - ContentmentA little hermit crab whose shell has grown too tight. A little duck who always asks what his friends want. A busy bird who keeps fetching just a little more. Little Stories, Ancient Wisdom, Book 2 brings together three gentle, read-aloud stories inspired by the Tao Te Ching, the ancient Chinese book of wisdom. Through Cody the hermit crab, Danny the duck and Billy the bird, children discover that letting go, knowing themselves and feeling content bring a quiet kind of happiness. Each story is set in a calm natural world of sandy beaches, ponds and reeds, with soft watercolor illustrations, short text and playful repeated phrases that little ones can join in with. Every story opens with a short note for grown-ups about the Tao Te Ching chapter that inspired it, so families can read, wonder and talk together. A few friends from Book 1 pop in, too.
