Description

The Hero of Compassion is a 2023 NAPPA Award winner.

This magical story is about a compassionate hero who learns how to always care for others and to never give up—perfect for kids aged 4-8.

Lokeshvara shows us that with compassion, we can always pick up the pieces of a broken heart, and be stronger, more loving, and wiser than before.

Lokeshvara is a compassionate hero who lives above the moon. He tries to help every single being in the world but gets frustrated when he realises that he can't save everyone. Lokeshvara becomes so disheartened that he explodes into a thousand pieces. With a little help from a wise friend and teacher, the pieces are put back together in a way that can benefit even more beings than before.

Lokeshvara's tale of compassion and resilience teaches us that even when we feel overwhelmed by the suffering we see in the world, we can still find creative ways to help those around us.

With beautiful illustrations that use a unique approach to colour, shadows, and perspective to evoke a sense of magic and wonder, this retelling of a classic Asian Buddhist tale is timely and meaningful for kids and grown-ups alike.
