Naturally, I know of Buddha and Buddhism and some of the beliefs, but really, I know little about Buddha. This picture book, appropriate for elementary ages and up, tells us the story of the prince Siddhartha and his quest for the truth. The flowing illustrations are beautiful and enticing. I really enjoyed learning the story behind this religion.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for fulfilling my review request. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
