Description
"Where is Tibet?" is really a way of asking "Where is happiness?" Gina Halpern's enchanting book takes children on a double journey into a real country and into their own hearts. Brilliantly illustrated with Tibetan images, this sensitively rendered, cross-cultural book follows the search of a refugee Tibetan boy and girl for their native Himalayan land. The children could be two of the real exiled children now living in India and Nepal, but their search goes far beyond the geographical and personal. In Gina Halpern's hands, their quest becomes the universal search of all who seek a place of peace.

Woven among vivid illustrations, this book includes the simple, engaging story told in both English phrases and Tibetan script, along with the phonetic Tibetan pronunciation and English and Tibetan alphabets. It provides a wonderful opportunity for Tibetan and non-Tibetan children alike to enjoy a multi-cultural experience.

Paperback, suitable for ages 4 and up, 2nd edition.

Gina Halpern is an accomplished painter and sculptor based in the Boston area, whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States. Where is Tibet? was inspired by her experiences trekking in the Himalayan mountains and living and teaching amoung Tibetan refugees in India. Gina has a particular interest in the role of the creative arts in the healing process, and is the executive director of a non-profit organization called Healing Through Arts. As a teacher of fine arts, Gina is deeply committed to helping her students find personal growth through creative expression.
