Book Reviews of A Pebble for Your Pocket

Book Review: Much more than pebbles
Summary: 5 Stars

This charming little book, in which author Thich Nhat Hanh's warm voice tells deceptively simple (actually multilayered) tales of the Dharma, has something for children of all ages! I bought it to read to my grandchildren and find that I am loving it as much as they are. One of the many things of value that it offers is a simple introduction to mindfulness that children can understand and practice. Another plus is that the book is presented in 'bite sized' chapters and sections that are perfect for reading before bed. Most stories are accompanied by very sweet line drawings. It is more of a gem of a book than a pebble!

Summary of A Pebble for Your Pocket

Combining the stories and meditation practices from the previous edition of A Pebble for your Pocket with those collected in Under the Rose Apple Tree and several new stories, this completely revised edition is comprised of Buddhist parables and stories from the author's own childhood experiences. They elucidate principles of Buddhism and mindfulness practice, giving young readers and their parents concrete advise on handling difficult emotions like anger. Written in a highly accessible style that doesn?t rely on lot of jargon or difficult vocabulary, this collection emphasizes the importance of the present moment through vivid metaphors, original allegories, and colorful stories. Young readers learn about handling anger, living in the present moment, and ?interbeing? ? the interconnectedness of all things. Thich Nhat Hanh offers various practices that children can do on their own or with others that will help them to transform anger and unhappiness and reconnect to the wonders of nature and the joy of living in the present moment.
