This ancient parable is re-told in a charming way with lyrical text and incredible illustrations to convey a simple yet powerful message that will resonate with all ages.

Children Learn Best Through The Medium of Story-Telling and Examples 

As we follow the tale of the little boy, and the things that happen to him, we are shown examples of how he approached each circumstance with equanimity, and being open to discovering new ways. Throughout the story we learn how what appears to be ‘bad’ or a ‘problem’ actually can be a ‘blessing in disguise’, and by going with the flow of life, we are led to gratitude, love, joy and wisdom.

 

‘The Beautiful Mare’ is intended for children of all ages.

We warmly recommend it to Parents, Teachers, and anyone who works with children.
