The Dalai Lama by Demi (1998)

One more of Demi's wonderfully illustrated books, this time of Tibet, it's mountains and its well known spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. It is a story I know, but it was interesting to see how Demi would tell it. The Dalai Lama himself wrote an introduction, so the book has his approval. I like the fact that he was a curious and mischievous boy. I just wonder if they will be able to find the next Dalai Lama, though I hope this one has many more years to live. I did see him in person - in Latvia of all places, with my friend Inta. I wish him well, and his cause.
