Buddha Stories :Demi's pen-and-gold ink lines are as firm and meticulous as ever, displaying astonishing detail and appealing composition. This lovely object does honor to Buddha . " - School Library Journal Buddha :"A graceful account . The blended, gentle-hued watercolor backgrounds contrast with both the stark white of the pages and with the precise, detailed figures and scenes. The lovely, simple, descriptive language, together with the design and illustrations, combine dynamically so that the whole book is much more than the sum of its parts. Some readers will treasure this title, some will ponder on it, and all will learn from it." - School Library Journal The Dalai Lama :"This is a book as beautiful as it is moving, and one hopes it will make an impression on as many sensitive children as possible." - School Library Journal "This is a book as beautiful as it is moving, and one hopes it will make an impression on as many sensitive children as possible.

" - School Library Journal " Soaring landscapes, in which the Himalaya mountaintops peek out from a turquoise sky, are beautifully juxtaposed with spreads of palace pageantry and more personal scenes of the Dalai Lama's childhood. Demi, a practicing Buddhist, clearly shows the love and reverence she has for her religion in this special book." - Booklist Muhammad :"With dramatic scenes extending past the borders of the intricately patterned frames, the art will be a continual source of interest for young people. Demi weaves together selections from the Qur'an and an overview of Islam in this excellent retelling of the Prophet's life that combines beauty and scholarship." - Booklist.
