Author/illustrator Barbara Helen Berger, the creator of many beautiful children's books, from the fantasy Gwinna, to the gorgeous Christmas picture book, The Donkey's Dream, here takes a parable she heard from Tibetan monk, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, and turns it into a lovely, contemplative story. The text is simple but engaging, with a deeply satisfying conclusion, while the accompanying artwork, created using acrylic, colored pencil and gouache on watercolor paper, is absolutely gorgeous. I loved the use of color and shape here, to beautifully depict the journey through mountainous Tibet to the holy city of Lhasa, I felt myself in accord with the message about steady effort oft-times yielding better results than rushing, and I appreciated the informative afterword from the author, with more information about Tibet.
