In Is Nothing Something? Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh answers heartfelt, difficult, and funny questions from children of all ages. Illustrated with original color artwork by Jessica McClure, Is Nothing Something? helps adults plant the seeds of mindfulness in the young children in their lives. Beginning with the most basic questions, ?What is important in life?” and ?Why is my brother mean to me?” and progressing through issues that we all wrestle with, such as ?How do I know if I really love somebody?,” ?How long am I going to live?,” and ?What does God look like?,” each page presents a question with a short answer from Thich Nhat Hanh, appropriate for beginning readers to work with on their own. The back of the book has practices adults can use with their children to go deeper into the answers, as well as the first complete children’s biography of Thich Nhat Hanh and an appendix of in-depth explanations and further commentary for adults. Both humorous and profound, this book is the perfect resource for kids with questions, adults looking for how to answer them, and anyone with questions of their own.
