Zen Shorts, by Jon Muth, is
Zen Shorts, by Jon Muth, is truly wonderful! Children see things in very distinct sides, as black and white. THis book helps open a child's mind to other ways of thinking. Muth's always beautiful illustrations are terrific. I have given this book as a birthday present many times over.
