Foreword:

Ab-zen-ce...

The Zen isn't a religion, neither a philosophy, nor a dogma. It is a way of life, it's the whole experience of fulfillment. For centuries the teachings of Zen Buddhism had been passed through the generations with the help of short tales that help the apprentice.
This book was graphically designed especially for the story teller. Sitting in front of his or her audience, of thirty or even only one child. Please notice that when you bend the book, the picture will be facing the audience, while you will be able to read the text without any trouble. That's an ancient storytelling technique, many Zen monks used it, called kamishibay. The images had been conceived to be easily seen even at some distance,
I suggest that while telling the story to your children, that you also play with your voice tunes, emulating the voices of the many characters and the sounds of nature. You may even put new words, add new line, invent your own story. Be zen-sational!

The picture faces the children, the text stay right in front of your eyes.
