Dorje, a Royal Bengal tiger, lives with the monks in a Buddhist monastery. The creature's stripes have disappeared, signaling the decline of its species. However, one hopeful day, a monk notices a stripe on Dorje's back. With a combination of myth, magic, ecology, and spirituality, the book shares the endangered animal's true-life plight. Rich-hued, impressionistic paintings highlight the tiger's magnificence.
