Fishing for the Moon and Other Zen Stories : A Pop-Up

Rating:
Summary: Storytelling done afresh!
Review: She isn't all about theory, ladies and gentlemen: she practices what she preaches. Ms. Hansen consciously seeks to improve herself as a practioner of Zen Buddhism, which shows itself in her day-to-day routines.

"Fishing" reminds us of the antiquated practice of storytelling and parent-child sharing. Ms. Hansen's delightful collection is a much-needed resource for building the rapport between mother, father and child and helping us foster values together. Through gentle words and wonderful paintings and pop-ups, her Zen stories provide food for thought and amazement at the simplicity and beauty of life's adventures.

Perhaps over time, you will find your copy of "Fishing" well-used and firmly installed beside other timeless childhood works by the Grimm brothers, the Andersen brothers, Roald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, Italo Calvino (for "Italian Folktales"), Wu Cheng'en (for "Monkey King" or "Journey to the West") and other cherished giants of the tale. A series of tales to be enjoyed by the family.
