The Brave Little Parrot

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-399-22825-x
(3) K-3 While all the other animals are fleeing from a forest fire, a parrot desperately tries to put out the flames. Her bravery inspires the compassion of a god, whose tears not only put out the fire but revive life as well. Dramatic paintings illustrate this jataka tale from India, which describes one of Buddha's past lives in a way that teaches a moral lesson, but so charmingly that it doesn't seem didactic at all.
