Tenzin's Deer
A Tibetan Tale by Barbara Soros, illustrated by Danuta Mayer

Barbara Soros draws on the ancient wisdom of the Tibetan people to narrate the touching story of a young boy named Tenzin and the wounded musk deer he encounters in the woods. By paying heed to his dreams and to the needs of the animal he has rescued, Tenzin is able to cure the deer.

But soon he discovers that he must learn one of the most important lessons of all: how to love deeply enough to let go.

The rich, intricate illustrations evoke the emotional depth of this tale that encourages the Buddhist virtues of nonviolence, compassion and the rejection of materialism.

Barbara Soros's narrative draws on the ancient wisdom of the Tibetan people, urging us to listen to our intuition and to be courageous in the face of loss.

Danuta Mayer's scenic illustrations capture the majestic beauty of old Tibet, creating a powerful sense of space against which the poignant story of Tenzin and Jampa the musk deer can unfold.

"This is a story about the power of compassion, the guidance of dreams, the gift of healing and the ability to love deeply and to let go." - Barbara Soros
