O REI DESCALÇO

Once upon a time there was a young king named Richard. He had a good heart, but was somewhat distracted. One day, while walking barefoot down the street and looking at the sky, he hit his foot on a rock and injured himself. Frustrated, he made a decision: he wanted to cover the entire kingdom with leather so that no one would ever be hurt again. But he didn't imagine that his idea would cause so much confusion.
 
Through a charming and richly illustrated fable, The Barefoot King, by educator Andrew Jordan Nance, addresses fundamental issues, such as acceptance, compassion, ways of dealing with frustration and the full development of attention. Inspired by the ancient Guide to the Bodhissattva's Lifestyle, by Indian scholar Shantideva, the work recalls how the human mind can protect each person from the dangers of the world.
 
A book full of wisdom for children and adults who want to learn to face life's challenges with more lightness and joy.
