Buddhism for Kids

“A valuable, much-needed contribution to Buddhist, meditative resources for children, Burke’s sweet, delightful collection is an uplifting companion, morning, day, or night.” –Sumi Loundon Kim, Buddhist Chaplain at Yale and founder of the Mindful Families of Durham
“Cheerful, inviting, age-appropriate Buddhist stories and exercises with an easy, relaxed feel that contain timeless teachings completely free from preachiness or moralizing. Particular attention is given to helping kids tune into awareness of their environment, and to cultivating their natural capacity for compassionate connection with others. Also, the illustrations by April Hartmann are deeply charming!” –Scott Bryce, parent and practitioner; teacher at Triangle Insight Meditation Community, Durham, NC
“Parents of any faith or background can use this compilation of calm stories, playful activities, and active and quiet meditations to introduce Buddhism to kids of all ages.” –Ashley Gosselin-Ildari, Sati School Director, Mindful Families of Durham
“With this book, Emily walks us through teaching our children to know themselves, do no harm, and help those around them–as well as how to practice alongside them! Use Emily’s tried and true activities and stories to begin building up the Buddha-like nature that your child already has so that they can benefit themselves and everyone they come in contact with–for their entire lives!” –Christy Batts, family program coordinator, Kadampa Center for the Practice of Tibbetan Buddhism
