I Scream Koans: The Secret Zen Wisdom of Children's Literature (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780975441169)

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?" "If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?" "Did you ever stop to think and forget to start again?"

Sometimes koans can come from the most unlikely places. And sometimes the simplest things can be the most profound. But with the right perspective, enlightenment can be found around every corner and with the turn of every page - even the pages of a children's book.

I Scream Koans finds nuggets of enlightenment hidden between the covers of beloved children's titles and shines a new light on them, revealing the Zen wisdom hidden in children's literature.
