Little Sid: The Tiny Prince Who Became Buddha Hardcover – Picture Book, January 23, 2018

The drawings in this book are magnificent! So inspirational and a perfect compliment to the story of Little Sid.

The book is very well made, and my son loves it. It is a playful children's story that illustrates some Buddhist ideals and also does provide some real historical information about the Buddha at the end of the book.

Love this book! A very basic overview about Siddhartha for children. Very sweet and my son loved it. :)

The small protagonist of this book plays a very significant stage in the life of Siddhartha Gautama and his search for happiness. The illustrations narrate with an innocent style, direct, with a touch of humor and in a very simple way, his realization of the Self to become the Buddha. At the end there is a brief review of this fundamental historical figure in Buddhist philosophy and religion. Through this tale we can sow the awakening seed, free of religious notes, and nourish it so that it thrives in the fertile mind-hearts of our children.The emotional handling of the color of Xanthe Bouma's illustrations is very attractive, her style seems a bit retro to me, like the hardback story books I read as a child: a simple style like the graphic art of purist vision of form, composition and color.My appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

I was excited to receive this book and really wanted to love it. It's good as a first story for very little kids, but i wasn't wowed. Also, when I removed the book cover (I put them away so they aren't ruined by my one year old) there was some sticky stuff attaching it to the cover of the book that ripped the cover of the actual book when taken off. Not sure if they are all like that or it was just mine. If it was a defect I would exchange and add a star. But if that's how it is made, I suggest not doing that.

Bought this for friend's kids who are traveling in Asia this summer - they loved it!

Great book to explain Siddharta and Buddhism to knowledge seeking kiddos!

So cute. My daughter loves turning the pages and I love the story.
