'Bumbles and Lou; A Coat of Love' by Emilie Szasz-Frank 🐝❤

Amazon Review 10/10 ⭐

📚A Coat of Love - Do you remember when we used to read moral science stories in our childhood and we never had to think twice to make someone our friend? This story has Bumble and Lou as lead characters and has 14 scene story which is written in poetic rhythm so any age person can enjoy. It is the best way to teach kids about kindness and love.

📚The message about equality among everyone, the message about everyone is beautiful, every shape, color, and size of a person is beautiful. The message is shown through insect characters but the message was so pure that we always have to be kind and humble towards everyone without any judgment about their colour and appearance.

📚I think this is a great effort by the author to show love, kindness, and humbleness in a few pages with a few insects character in very easy language and in an interesting way. Really loved it. I hope it reaches more and more people.

Partnered with gorgeous illustration and book design by Happydesigner , 'A Coat of Love' is a gentle rhyming book that shows the importance of kindness and tolerance whilst expressing the value of standing up for what is right.

🧘‍♂️'Buddy Finds Buddha' by Christine Meyers 🧘‍♂️

Illustrations by Sarah-Leigh Wills of Happydesigner 😍

Buddy has been around for many years so he has seen and met some of the most interesting people a tree could meet. Buddy has many stories to share with all visitors that come to see him, but his favourite story is the one of his best friend Siddhartha.

Buddy find Buddha sets us in the middle of a pristine, tropical, lush backdrop in the sacred land of India. Here we find Buddy, the oldest Bodhisattva tree, encountered by an old friend, Wee Woo. Wee Woo is eager to hear Buddy retell his story of how he met Siddhartha, and the friendship they created. Buddy recalls the brilliant memories of Siddhartha coming to visit him, year after year, teaching Buddy all the lessons he learned in his classes, and from his Father. As the years pass by, Siddhartha faces harsh truths of life, on his journey to finding Nirvana. Many times, life tests him, and doubt fills his mind. Buddy helps to remind Siddhartha of his quest, of his goal of attaining enlightenment, of finding joy in every minute.

Come join Buddy as he tells the tale of how he met Siddhartha and how together, they found the secret to happiness.
