Room in your heart by Kunzang Choden

Written by Kunzang Choden

This delightful, and insightful, tale is told by one of Bhutan’s leading writers, Kunzang Choden. “Neypo shong gna? Is there room for me?” a wandering monk asks the little old lady who lives on the hill. The question is repeated again and again as more and more visitors remove by. The kind lady welcomes them in, one by one. And the story ends with the teaching: “There will always be room in your home, as long as there is room in your heart.”

Along with Aunty Mouse, this charming picture book makes perfect bedtime reading for youngsters, and is beautifully illustrated with evocative watercolours of the Bhutanese landscapes and people by Pema Tshering.
