"The magical story of a compassionate hero who learns how to always care for others and to never give up-for kids ages 4-8. Lokeshvara is a compassionate hero who lives above the moon. He tries to help all the beings he sees in the world but gets frustrated when he realizes 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, 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. This retelling of a classic Asian Buddhist tale is timely and meaningful for kids and grown-ups alike"-- Provided by publisher.
