Each Breath a Smile
by Thich Nhat Hanh;Sister Thuc Nghiem;Sister Susan Nghiem (9781888375220)

Based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, EACH BREATH A SMILE is a wonderful introduction to mindful breathing. Through beautiful colour illustrations, children learn to connect with their breathing to help them experience calmness and enjoy a deeper relationship with their friends and family. Pictures of trees, frogs, crickets, and birds remind them of the many simple joys available in the world around them.

One of the best known and most respected Zen masters in the world today, poet, and peace and human rights activist, Thich Nhat Hanh has led an extraordinary life. Born in central Vietnam in 1926 he joined the monkshood at the age of sixteen. The Vietnam War confronted the monasteries with the question of whether to adhere to the contemplative life and remain meditating in the monasteries, or to help the villagers suffering under bombings and other devastation of the war.

Nhat Hanh was one of those who chose to do both, helping to found the "engaged Buddhism" movement. His life has since been dedicated to the work of inner transformation for the benefit of individuals and society.

Thich Nhat Hanh continues to live in Plum Village in the meditation community he founded, where he teaches, writes, and gardens; and he leads retreats worldwide on "the art of mindful living."
