1st printing. Story and art by Regina Linke. Inspired by thousands of years of Chinese thought, an enchanting and heart-opening illustrated fable about a young boy who explores the many ways to make meaning and find joy in the everyday. In this exquisitely illustrated parable grounded in the three pillars of Chinese philosophy, a young boy, his family ox, and a rabbit living in his garden help each other navigate the daily work of love, compassion, and community. Examining the world through the lenses of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, their conversations convey tender, uplifting messages for life's various crossroads. Painted in a contemporary gongbi style, one of the oldest continuous art forms in the world, the atmospheric illustrations conjure a timeless, mystical land where the friends have made their home. Hardcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, full color. Cover price $20.00.
