Description

The stories of the Taoist teacher & storyteller Chuang-Tzu have long been revered for their whimsical simplicity & childlike sense of wonder. This imaginative book is based on one of Chuang-Tzu’s most famous stories, in which the storyteller wakes up & wonders who is the dreamer -- & who the dreamed. The book begins with the butterfly of Chuang-Tzu’s famous dream taking off on a flight of discovery -- through fabulous Chinese landscapes captured in beautiful watercolor illustrations. The butterfly’s adventures, its encounters with traditional Chinese characters, & the age-old but still relevant lessons of the importance of imagination & having an open mind, make this an inspiring & thought-provoking reading experience for children.
