Children’s Book by Mallika Chopra
Mallika Chopra brings the classic story of Buddha and Sujata to children in the beautifully illustrated book, Buddha And The Rose.
Kids have a whole lot of stimulation that keeps their minds and bodies racing – school, activities, technology…
It isn’t all bad, but too much of a good thing is just too much.
This old Hindu story is a beautiful way to remind children to pause, slow down and connect with people, nature and the world around them.
This is a timely lesson that is great for kids, but also for the adults who read the book with them.
The hardcover book is filled with beautiful illustrations on each page, so kids will enjoy looking at all of the details as they turn the pages.
Little ones will be happy to have an adult or older sibling read the book to them and bigger kids will be able to read it on their own.
This is a great choice for a bedtime story or as a pleasant way to wind down after a busy day at school.

Synopsis
Buddha sat, gazing at the flower in his hand, a smile on his face. Sujata, the milkmaid, approached Buddha with some rice puddling to break his long fast.
As she gazed at the Buddha and then at the rose, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and what she saw and felt changed her life forever.
A subtle, powerful, and calming story about our connection with the natural world and the universe that connects all of us.
Wellness expert and author Mallika Chopra and illustrator Neha Rawat breathe life into this simple but poignant story of awareness, wonder, and the joy of being present and open to seeing the world in new ways.
