 incorporates Chinese beliefs via an energetic and artistic tribute to the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. When Buddha called 12 creatures together under the Banyan Tree, the brief preface explains, he taught them about their strengths and weaknesses, then sent all twelve animals into the world to guide people in their growth, linking each animal to a month and year. Youngest readers may require some additional enlightenment for a few of the terms that follow (e.g., chi, power of creative expression, and tao, one\'s path), but all readers will likely appreciate the fact that Huang offers an unadulterated story here. Thick black brush strokes that seem to dance on the page outline one exuberant creature per spread, labeled by its Chinese name (Tswoo, Neeoh, Whoo, etc.), accompanied by its calligraphic symbol. Concise descriptions explain the characteristics of the animal as well as its relevance to the sermon under the Banyan Tree. For instance, the first arrival, Tswoo, sometimes call[ed a mouse, a rat, or a guinea pig... represents the innocence of The Beginner\'s Mind in Buddhism. Joo (a pig), who arrives just in time for the sermon, is a lesson in what the Chinese call the TAO of Being instead of Doing. Readers of all ages will want to use the closing chart to piece together their own characteristics (based on their year and month of birth), then profile all their friends.'); "Show Product Detail")
