Little Panka Sweeps the Mind

Little Panka is a young novice monk who can't seem to get anything right: as soon as he is taught something he forgets it right away. Little Panka's older brother gets so frustrated he kicks him out of the monastery. Just when it couldn't get any worse, Little Panka is visited by the Buddha, who shows him with patience and compassion a new way to learn. With vibrant illustrations by Du Lu, Little Panka Sweeps the Mind is a charming picture book about the importance of patience that shows readers young and old that awakening is open to us all.
