Zen Tales are classic philosophical stories adapted and beautifully illustrated for children.

In this Tale, everyone has an ice cream except Bruno - and Bruno cannot get ice-cream off his mind! So much so that he becomes irritable, distracted and unfocused. Eventually, Bruno learns an interesting lesson, by discovering that he feels happier when he forgets about ice-cream and about what everyone else is up to, and focuses his attention instead on what he himself is doing.

Zen Tales are a light-hearted and fun way for young minds to learn about philosophical ideas and wisdom. Each book includes a thought-provoking section, ‘Reflections on the story’, designed to stimulate curiosity and to invite different ways of thinking about things.
