This award-winning book in English and Tibetan is a collection of three charming stories from Tibet. Each story provides an enchanting glimpse into Tibetan culture and leaves the reader with a little nugget of Tibetan wisdom. The engaging tales entertain with mystical beings, yaks, wild goats, horses, an enormous sow, and a yeti.
Written in a simple style, young and old will enjoy these fun and thoughtful tales. Naomi's illustrations capture the essence of the Tibetan people and landscape.

The book includes a map, glossary, description of a Tibetan chant, and foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

64 pages, hardcover, suitable for ages 4 and up.

Foreword by the Dalai Lama: Everyone wants to be happy and to overcome whatever problems they meet in their lives. One of the most important means of fulfilling this wish is through education. Even today, in this age of television and electronic communications I believe that reading books is an essential part of education. Therefore, we can give our children tremendous help if we teach them to read and give them an appreciation of books at an early age.

Naomi Rose has created a children’s book called Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas. Young children will surely find these charming, colourful books attractive. In them she retells simple stories that were once told in Tibet that children anywhere will find fun to read. Because the stories are set in Tibet, readers in other lands will naturally become aware of the existence of our country and of the values that we hold dear.

I congratulate the author on her efforts and hope that books like these may serve as examples for others in their clarity, simplicity and charming appeal to children. I am sure they will bring joy to readers young and old.
