NABU and Dr. Thupten Jinpa have joined forces to create a collection of Tibetan children's books that celebrate the power of compassion and wisdom.
NABU's Compassion Collection will launch with 8 original children's books. The stories will be inspired by Tibetan folktales and personal stories, including that of Dr. Thupten Jinpa. Book illustrations will done by Tibetan artists, alongside NABU's global network of Creative Fellows. All 8 books will be published on the NABU app, delivered in print through various partners, and reach millions of children globally.
NABU will work alongside Tibetan artists to create 8 original, bilingual Tibetan/English story books across four early-grade reading levels.
The Compassion Collection will not only represent themes of compassion and kindness, but will also highlight broader themes in Tibetan tradition, including our relationship to the environment, story as a vehicle for social change, Tibetan value of family and connection, and others. The rich Tibetan cultural tradition can teach the global community how to live better while a generation of children and their families across the world can benefit from these lessons.
The books will support Tibetan children in building their cultural pride and language skills. The books will also support children globally in learning about Tibetan values.
Children’s books are a powerful tool for fostering cultural pride amongst a population and preserving languages that are at risk, when no longer taught. This project is a non-political way to contribute to documenting the language and cultural illustrations for this generation of children, and generations to come.
