Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In his very first children's book, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares stories from his own childhood, offering guidance and encouragement on how we all might bring more kindness and compassion to the world. One of today's most inspiring world leaders was once an ordinary child named Lhamo Thondup. In a small village in Tibet, his mother was his first great teacher of compassion. She taught Lhamo that it was possible to treat all others with kindness and help ease their suffering. But in today's society, that can often be a very hard task. In everyday moments from the Dalai Lama's childhood, young readers begin to see that lessons are all around us, and that they, too, can grow to truly understand the importance of compassion toward others. With simple, powerful text, the Dalai Lama shares the universal teachings of treating one another with warmheartedness, which Bao Luu illustrates beautifully in vibrant color. In an increasingly confusing world, The Seed of Compassion offers a clear path to nurture our tendency toward loving others the way we want to be loved. Luu, Bao (illustrator).…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Urgent and timeless, Legacies brings us closer than we have ever been to penetrating the great conundrum of China m the twentieth century. It could only have been written by Bette Bao Lord -- born in China, raised in America, author of the bestselling novel Spring Moon, wife of a former American ambassador to China, resident in Beijing during the China Spring of 1989. Lord's unique web of relationships and her sensitive insight have enabled her to observe Chinese life both high and low, Communist and dissident, intellectual and ordinary. Lord interweaves her own story, and that of her clansmen, with the voices of men and women who recall the tumultuous experience of the last fifty years, and the legacy of the Cultural Revolution. In precise, subtle prose, Lord explores the reality of Red Guards and reeducation camps, of friends and families severed by political disgrace, and captures the individual voices of those caught up in them: the seven-year-old girl with a heart full of hate for her father; the journalist whose girlfriend believes the Party newspapers, not him; the imprisoned scholar who hid his writings in his quilt for years; the anti-revolutionary who tells his bitter story in a vein of high farce. All bear heartbreaking witness to the surreal quality of Chinese society today -- and to the astonishing resilience, humor, and heroic equanimity of the Chinese spirit.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Every child feels different in some way, but Thuy feels double different. She is Vietnamese American and she has two moms. Thuy walks home one winter afternoon, angry and lonely after a bully's taunts. Then a bird catches her attention and sets Thuy on an imaginary exploration. What if she could fly away like a bird? What if she could sprint like a deer, or roar like a bear? Mimicking the footprints of each creature in the snow, she makes her way home to the arms of her moms. Together, the three of them imagine beautiful and powerful creatures who always have courage - just like Thuy. Tran, Basia (illustrator).…
