Buddhist children’s literature offers parents a fun, gentle way to share dharma concepts and practices with their kids.

For babies and tots, check out Baby Present (Parallax), inspired by the teachings of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, and The Day the Buddha Woke Up, written by Lion’s Roar’s Andrea Miller and illustrated by Rima Fujita (Wisdom).

Preschoolers and kids in elementary school will enjoy Everything Is Connected, written by Jason Gruhl and illustrated by Ignasi Font (Bala Kids); Steps and Stones, written by Gail Silver and illustrated by Christiane Krömer (Plum Blossom Books); The Buddha’s Apprentice at Bedtime by Dharmachari Nagaraja (Watkins); and Mindful Monkey, Happy Panda by Kerry Lee MacLean (Wisdom).

Finally, for young adults, try Wide Awake: A Buddhist Guide for Teens, by Diana Winston (Perigee), and the novel Zen and Gone, by Emily France (Soho Teen).

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
