These inviting tales provide simple, yet profound advice to young children. M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) speaks of the generosity of nature, of the tree that gives its fruit selflessly without expecting anything in return, and the forest life that lives in unity. He also warns about tiny red ants that can cause so much damage even though they are small, and reminds us to guard ourselves against any negative qualities, no matter how minor.

The stories also tell children about their true nature – one of purity and resplendent light that comes from God.

Perfect for bedtime stories, these selections are gems of wisdom that young children can take in, ponder, and draw from in their lives.
