When young Nikolai seeks counsel from Leo, the wise old turtle who lives in the mountains, he is sure Leo will know the answers to his three questions. But it is Nikolai's own response to a stranger's cry for help that leads him directly to the answers he is looking for. Jon J. Muth combined his studies of Zen with his love for Tolstoy to create this profound, yet simple book about compassion and living in the moment. Recommended for ages 6 to 10.
