Gentle text and watercolor illustrations that can help a reader figure out what is important in life.
Lots to think about. I'm not completely sure I agree with the conclusion. Good thought provoking book, could raise good discussion.
John J. Muth's illustrations and narratives are so incredibly peaceful that they lull you into a false sense of security about the world--that everybody is as introspective, philosophical, and kind as his stories. His illustrations are beautiful, his narrative--even if this one is adapted from Leo Tolstoy--is simple and intriguing. What more could you possibly want from a picturebook? This book teaches important lessons and the importance of the here and now, how our actions at this very minute always impact others.
