The Show-Off Monkey and Other Taoist Tales

A picture book of Taoist wisdom tales inspired by the ancient philosopher Chang Tzu, for children ages 5-10, beautifully illustrated with original artwork.

â€œIf we are true to who we are, we will naturally find what is right.â€
â€œBeauty is in the eyes and mind of the beholder.â€
â€œWhat is good in life is not always obvious.â€
Â
These morals are inspired by the teachings Taoist philosopher Chuang Tzu (fourth century b.c.e.), who through charming and sometimes cryptic fables explained to his students the qualities of humility, modesty, simplicity, acceptance, and contentment. In â€œThe Sea Turtle and the Frog,â€ two creatures share their unique perspective on the world. â€œThe Happy Fishâ€ offers a reflection on what makes for a good leader. And â€œThe White Peacockâ€ demonstrates the virtues of a simple life rather than one adorned with material riches.

Beautifully illustrated in the traditional Asian style by artist Mark McGinnis, this book collects thirty-three of these traditional Taoist wisdom tales that will teach readers young and old about the Taoist view of living in harmony with the natural world.
