Follow two children on a gentle journey as they receive notes and messages from their mother, discovering the beauty and wisdom of Zen along the way.

Change is in the air.
Oak leaves are gently falling like hands waving. Hello trees.
You will soon have a change of outfit, with lacy, delicate branches reaching for the sky.

My First Book of Zen is an invitation for young minds to explore the gentle teachings of Zen philosophy. Through a day in the life of two children, young readers encounter messages of presence, kindness, and connection to the world around them.

Each of the nine moments encourages curiosity and reflection, helping children develop an appreciation for nature's beauty and the peace found in still moments. Enchanting watercolor illustrations by award-winning artist Tracy Gallup paint the soft moods of Zen and capture a sense of inner calm. Each image is paired with a thoughtful message and a quote from an inspirational thinker—like the haiku master Issa, Zen philosophers D.T. Suzuki and Alan Watts, or the Dalai Lama—offering a quiet space for reflection.

A perfect book for bedtime and fostering moments of calm, My First Book of Zen sows the seeds of inner harmony, compassion, gratitude, and a lasting love for the natural world.
