Lok and Siew journey along a mountain road trying to understand what
makes one happy. At once the monks encounter frightened villagers that
have long been ravaged by harsh times, and whose hearts have grown hard
toward everyone they meet. But when the monks cleverly entice them to
make soups from stones, the villagers discover how much they each have
to give - and how much more comes back in return. With magnificent
watercolors that invite reflection of deeper meaning, Jon J. Muth
combines his love of Zen Buddhism and Eastern culture with a favorite
old trickster tale that celebrates the power of generosity. Hardcover,
32 pages. Ages 4-8.
