Naomi Rose, an award-winning author and illustrator, continues her playlist describing the journey she went on to create “Tibetan Tales For Little Buddhas”. The process she describes is one familiar to many creatives - that of inspiration, followed by hard work, then reversals and discouragement, met finally with a dogged refusal to accept defeat. When she left art school, Naomi continued to follow her path of prayer and spiritual practice, and began writing down her distillations of the ancient wisdom tales of Tibet. At this time, she thought that this would be a straightforward road to follow - but in fact, it took over a decade to bring the book into existence. She wrote and illustrated 3 stories, received some feedback from her teacher, Lama Surya Das, and worked on them some more. All the while, she went deeper and deeper into Tibetan wisdom, and slowly received the guidance she needed through her spiritual practice to begin capturing this esoteric tradition in a way that would convey it to Western children. After she graduated from art school, she put the work down to complete other projects. That is, until she met an author at a party who loved her work, and put her in touch with an agent. But still, it took many attempts to find the right publisher for her work, and many rejections along the way. Naomi kept forging ahead with the book, honing her writing and illustrating skills, improving the stories year after year. Along the way, she was strengthened in her quest by the presence of unseen, but profoundly felt, ‘helpers’, spiritual beings who continued to infuse her work with light and possibility. But there was still further to travel on this road…. Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas is available from the website listed below. Naomi now loves to help other authors realise their dream of publishing a book. She is available to assist in all stages of writing and publishing, including editing and book design. She also teaches yoga, in both individual and group settings.
