TENZIN'S DEER: A TIBETAN TALE Barbara Soros & Danuta Mayer
Born beneath a brilliant comet, Tenzin is wiser than his years and holds the knowledge of many generations in his memory. When he discovers a wounded deer high up in the hills, he feels the creature's pain as if it were his own and tenderly takes it home to try and heal it. He names it Jampa, `loving kindness'. That night, as sleep overcomes him, he has a dream that shows him how he can cure his new friend. Day by day the deer recovers, but Tenzin has yet to understand one of the most important lessons of all: how to love enough to let go. Barbara Soros's narrative draws on the ancient wisdom of the Tibetan people, urging us to listen to our intuition and be courageous in the face of loss. (Suggested age 6-9.)
