ABOUT THE BOOK
Leaf Talks Peace is an enchanting picture book that carefully explains Buddha’s message of the interdependent origin of all life. It introduces children to the concept of the interconnectedness of all beings through the eyes of a leaf called Harmony, who lives on the Bodhi Tree. Buddha sits under the tree and sees in Harmony the Sun, the earth, stars, clouds, rain, time, space, the mind, and the whole universe. Spreading a much-needed message of unity and tolerance, the book aims to help children become more mindful and compassionate global citizens.
Additional notes and suggested activities are included to help parents and teachers with questions children may have as they begin to understand the concepts of Harmony, connection, and the link each of them has to join together as conscious global citizens. Best for ages 3 to 8 years old.
It is also the first Indian author picture book to be endorsed by HH The Dalai Lama.
“A beautifully illustrated book that teaches children the importance of living in harmony with nature and with all forms of life. I hope that it will contribute to a better awareness of the responsibility each of us has to protect our environment.” — Foreword by His Holiness The Dalai Lama
“It is a jewel of thoughts as it encourages young readers to protect cultural diversity and perceive themselves as a reflection of harmony seen in nature.” — His Eminence The Kenting Tai Situpa, The Supreme Head of the Palpung Institution of Buddhist Dharma
The book had a successful Kickstarter pre-order campaign in March with pre-orders of over $7k. Reputed platforms like News12, EBC radio, ITV gold, NY Weekly, International Business Times, and many more have featured Priya and her work.
