For the first time ever, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate His Holiness the Dalai Lama addresses children directly, sharing lessons of peace and compassion, told through stories of his own childhood.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. In everyday moments from his childhood, young readers begin to see that important lessons are all around us, and they, too, can grow to truly understand them.With simple, powerful text, the Dalai Lama shares the universalist teachings of treating one another with compassion, which Bao Luu illustrates beautifully in vibrant colour. In an increasingly confusing world, The Seed of Compassion offers guidance and encouragement on how we all might bring more kindness to our world.

For a young brother and sister, each day spent outside is an adventure, and every marvel they encounter is a gift. Together, they run through fields of lush, green grass and say “thank you” for the rain, they greet fish in babbling brooks and say “thank you” for the clear blue waters. And at the end of each adventure, they race home and say “thank you” for the friends they made along the way.When an empty plot of land presents the opportunity to do more than say “thank you,” these siblings gather their tools - their friends, their shovels, and their watering cans - to help plant the seeds of love and gratitude.
