Learning to Write and Illustrate For Children In this video, award-winning author and illustrator Naomi Rose introduces her playlist describing the extraordinary journey she undertook to bring her book “Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas” into being. “Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas” includes three wisdom tales from Tibet. It offers eloquent, beautifully written and illustrated narratives easily understood and grasped by children - and adults. It has won critical praise and awards, both nationally and internationally. There has also been a mass of anecdotal feedback from adult readers and parents of young readers on how much healing and wisdom they experienced in reading Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas. These tales spring from one of the most spiritually rich cultures the world has ever known. Until recently, the stories existed largely within an oral tradition, created to impart wisdom and peace to all of those hearing them, young or old, wise or not-so-wise yet. They offer the opportunity to shift to new ways of seeing, further a person's spiritual growth, to awaken to deeper truths. Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas has also had the great honour to have a foreword written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, in which he says: “I congratulate the author on her efforts and hope that this book may serve as an example for others in its clarity, simplicity and charming appeal to children. I’m sure these stories will bring joy to readers young and old”. For a Western woman to have created such a book is singular enough, but what make Naomi’s achievement all the more noteworthy is that in order to write and illustrate these stories, she needed to delve deep into Tibetan wisdom to distill the stories for Western minds. She consulted Tibetan teachers along the way to insure she stayed true to their culture. Naomi also needed to learn how to paint, and how to write and illustrate for children. It took her over ten years to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, and to find a suitable publisher. She experienced many moments of doubt and discouragement, but ultimately, she remained present to the truth of her heart. She knew that books of peace and kindness are more necessary to us now than ever before. Naomi dreamt that this book needed to exist.….watch this playlist to find out how she made that happen. 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.
