Synopsis

A little raindrop who doesn’t race. A tiny snail who climbs a mountain one small step at a time. A bendy green stalk who sways through the storm.

Some of the oldest wisdom in the world is also the gentlest. Little Stories, Ancient Wisdom, Book 1 turns ideas from the Tao Te Ching (Dào Dé Jīng), the ancient Chinese book of wisdom, into three calm, read-aloud stories that young children can enjoy and grown-ups will love sharing.

Inside this book:

  • Peter Goes Around (inspired by Tao Te Ching Chapter 8): a little raindrop takes his time, helps everyone he meets, and discovers there is room for everyone at the sea. - Kindness and humility
  • Hannah Takes One Step (inspired by Chapter 64): a very small snail has a very big mountain to climb, and a hurrying grasshopper who just can’t wait. - Patience.
  • Ben Bends (inspired by Chapter 76): when the storm comes, one stands stiff and proud, and the other bends and springs back. - Flexibility.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Soft watercolor illustrations in calm, natural settings: ponds, meadows and mountains.
  • Short, rhythmic text with playful repeated phrases that little ones can say along with you.
  • No lectures, just gentle stories that children can feel before they can explain.
  • A short note for grown-ups at the start of each story, with the original Chinese chapter title and pinyin, so families can talk about the idea behind it.
  • A closing page about the Tao Te Ching and Laozi.


Perfect for bedtime, quiet time at home, and the classroom.
For ages 4 and up.

Take the first small step together.
