by Lulu Edge (Author), Nikhila Anil (Illustrator)
A young cub named Buddha Bear is destined to be a monk and lives with his family in the forests of Thailand where they lead a simple life, in harmony with nature around them. A curious cub, Buddha Bear asks many questions of his parents, which they answer with love and wisdom until they allow only five more. Buddha Bear's dream is to become a wealthy and powerful king, so his parents' answers are not what he wants to hear. Years pass for Buddha Bear until a chance encounter and a long journey far from his family lead him to live the life he's always wanted. But in time, his heart grows lonely and greedy, living a life that is sad and unfulfilling. He takes heed of his parents' long-ago answers and comes to realize that at home in the forests, he had been richer than he ever realized.
