The Butterfly's Dream
Retold by Ippo Keido |
ORDER -- Item #3177, Price $15.95
This imaginative book is based on one of Chuang-Tzu's most famous stories, in which the storyteller wakes up and wonders who is the dreamer--and who the dreamed.
The book begins with the butterfly of Chuang-Tzu's famous dream taking off on a flight of dicovery--through fabulous Chinese landscapes captured in beautiful watercolor illustrations. The butterfly's adventures, its encounters with traditional Chinese characters, and the age-old but still relevant lesons of the importance of imagination and having an open mind, make this an inspiring and thought-provoking reading experience for children.
