In this Zen Tail, everyone has an ice cream except Bruno and he can't get ice cream off his mind. This book shows how focused attention and caring for others brings freedom, happiness and even ice cream.
Everyone has ice cream except Bruno, and he can't get his mind off the stuff. He tries and tries to get some ice cream, but no one wants to give him any. What to do? A fun story that teaches sharing and includes vivid, imaginative illustrations, Bruno Dreams of Ice Cream, the debut title in the Zen Tails series of beautifully illustrated philosophical tales adapted for children, shows how focused attention and caring for others brings freedom, happiness, and maybe even ice cream.
Zen Tails? is a ground-breaking collection of children's picture books based on stories drawn from great philosophical traditions. Each book is beautifully illustrated and contains the original ancient story as well as a moral. The books address fundamental questions which must be faced by each of us as we move through life. These questions are simple enough to be understood by young children, yet profound enough to warrant a lifetime of study, reflection and practice.
