Little Stone Buddha

This beautiful read-aloud tale begins with a thunderbolt flashing across the sky, striking a rocky cliff and sending a large stone tumbling down the mountain. A mason comes upon the stone and, inspired, chisels it into a statue of a little Buddha. Then, one moonlit night many years later, the statue moves — and Little Stone Buddha awakens from a thousand-year sleep. From that day on, Little Stone Buddha wanders the mountainside helping travelers in need. He helps the animals, too, and one of his acts of kindness brings peace and security to foxes forever. Enlivened by charming illustrations and enchanting ideas, Little Stone Buddha holds appeal for children of all spiritual traditions.

The 100th Customer

Ben Bear and Chris Croc are opening a restaurant that serves mouth-watering pizzas and luscious desserts. But their very first customers, an old woman and her grandson, order just one small, inexpensive pizza. "I'm not at all hungry," the grandmother insists, then sits and watches her grandson eat. Suddenly, Ben Bear and Chris Croc have an idea. What if they pretend this young man is really their 100th customer of the day — and that he has won free pizza and dessert? This joyous picture book shows how a simple act of generosity can bring unexpected rewards, and that a full heart can be even more satisfying than a full stomach.
