Buddha, the great sage

Large characters at child height: this illustrated collection invites the reader to discover the lives of famous people. Extract: As soon as he was born, the child stood up on his small legs. He looked around with wide, quiet eyes, and began to walk. At the places where his feet touched the ground, lotuses sprang from the ground as if by magic. He took a few steps towards each of the four cardinal points, symbolically taking possession of the Universe. “I like the idea of younger people learning about different religions through books like this. The conversations that we adults can have with children after reading this type of book can be as enriching as they are important. It is through knowledge and curiosity that stupidity and narrow-mindedness are overcome. The illustrations support the poetry and sometimes the magic brought about by the author's beautiful, efficient writing. " (Marie-Babelio)
