The Gift: A Magical Story about Caring for the Earth

By Isia Osuchowska

Book Overview

What would you do with a bag of gold? Would you share it? Long ago in a kingdom far away, Ananda, the Buddha's principal disciple, taught a small-minded king the importance of sharing-not only one's personal wealth, but also the wealth of the earth's resources.Thirty vibrant watercolors illustrate this delightful children's tale about the importance of using nature's gifts wisely so that these precious resources will be available to share in the future.

The Recycling Cycle

I thought that this was a wonderful story about the cycles of recycling and how anyone can make something that seems useless to one person extremely useful to another. I think that it's important for children to learn to recycle, as we are quickly depleting our natural resources. The short, but sweet text and colorful pictures add to the enjoyment of this book! Enjoy!
