When is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do?
When young Nikolai seeks counsel from Leo, the wise old turtle, he is sure Leo will know the answer to his three questions. But it is Nikolai's own response to a stranger's cry for help that leads him directly to the answers he is seeking. Jon J. Muth combined his studies of Zen with his love for Tolstoy to create this profound, yet simple book about compassion and living in the moment. For ages 4 and up. Hardcover, 28 pages. Highly recommended.
