Little Birds: A Flock of Poems with Messages of Gandhi

In one of Mahatma Gandhi's letters to the children of his ashram, he addressed them as “little birds.” Just as children around the world are introduced to morals and ideals through stories of animals, this flock of poems brings messages from Mahatma Gandhi through stories told by and about birds. This book breathes through the wings of birds in rhyming verse with poems inspired by beloved folk tales and stories gathered from the Panchatantra, the Jataka tales, the Bible, the Qur’an, the Upanishads, Attar’s Conference of the Birds, Aesop’s Fables and more. The artwork within these pages has been offered by a variety of artists to share the visual imagery expressed by the poems. Each unique style presents a loving contribution. View Less
