Under the Bodhi Tree is a beautifully written picture book about the life of Siddhartha Gautama and his journey to becoming the Buddha. It offers gentle yet powerful messages about compassion, suffering, and the path to leading a meaningful life. The story captured the attention of my girls and sparked a conversation about why others may have less than us, how to help others, and what it means to have spirituality in our lives. Whether you identify with a particular religious or spiritual tradition, are agnostic or atheist, this story teaches children about an important historical figure and speaks to universal truths about what it means to live.
