Buddhist Stories for Kids: Jataka Tales of Kindness, Friendship, and Forgiveness
A wise and colorful collection of ten Buddhist fables, this modern telling of ancient Indian stories, centering around animals and nature, teaches vibrant and timeless life lessons. (Ages 4-8)
Long ago, the Buddha told his followers Jataka Tales, or "birth stories," about the many lifetimes he lived before he was born as Prince Siddhartha. In this beautiful retelling of ten such stories, the Buddha is introduced as the Queen of the Dogs, a loyal Parrot, a mischievous Monkey, a wise Lion, a brave Forest Owlet, and more.
Each story conveys important morals that are short, sweet, and to the point, giving children a handful of useful lessons to apply to their lives, like "Always try to do the right thing, even when no one else is watching."
These tales are brought to life with stunning and dreamlike illustrations by Sonali Zohra (illustrator of Ashoka the Fierce), exploring in vivid detail how one's actions affect others; the importance of kindness; the strength of friendship; the value of thoughtful decisions; and the importance of letting go and learning to forgive. With a beautiful paper-over-board package to tie it all together, this book will serve as a timeless and treasured offering for both children and adults.

12 books45 followersI grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and came to Buddhism at the San Francisco Zen Center. I received monastic training at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center and returned there to cook for the guests during the summer guest season. I taught children for 35 years and my books are a reflection of my long- term Zen practice and my work with children.
I lecture, teach classes, and lead retreats at different practice centers in Northern California. I co-founded the Sangha in Recovery program at the Zen Francisco Zen Center and continue to study and lead classes on Buddhism and recovery.

My hope is that my books will reach children and their families with wisdom stories and activities that will introduce them to the principles of Buddhist practice. I hope that my book "The Zen Way of Recovery" will help support people who are interested in both of these pathways to peace.

An amazing collection of ten stories from the Jataka Tales, one of the oldest literary texts in India.
‘Jataka’ means ‘birth’ in Pali & Sanskrit, two of the oldest languages in the world and still in use in India, though only for scholarly pursuits. The Jataka tales, originally written in Pali, are stories that Indian children (at least until my generation) have read since childhood. Thus, this was a very nostalgic read for me, though a few of the stories were ones I hadn’t read before.
These classic tales are supposed to be the stories narrated by Gautama Buddha about his many lifetimes before he was born as ‘The Buddha’. There are more than 500 Jataka tales; this book contains just ten (slightly disappointed at this number), but these ten come with a linked theme. As the Buddha had a great connection with trees (he was born under a tree, he received enlightenment under a tree, he preached under trees, and he attained nirvana under a tree), the ten stories in this book are all linked to trees. The basic plots in these stories are the same as the original version, but the genders and the species have been updated to suit modern readers.
I loved each of the tales, as I had expected to. The stories—centred around nature, trees and animals—are written in an easy-to-understand language, and not extended needlessly. Each story is just about 3-4 pages long, and accompanied with multifarious colourful illustrations that capture the heart of the story perfectly. The illustrations are vivid and stunning.
The best part is that there is a little moral at the end of each story, and these morals are practical rather than preachy. I am sure children (as well as parents/guardians) will find these little life lessons worth implementing. At the end of the book, there is a glossary of all the animals that appear in the stories, with an illustration, their common name and scientific name, and some interesting facts about them. This adds to the charm of the book.
There is a simplicity and a purity in the Jataka fables that I can’t explain. While the Panchatantra stories, another ancient collection of animal fables from India, are more popular, I find the Jataka tales more impactful in how beautifully they convey a deep thought in a relatable manner. (Probably because the Panchatantra was written for kings and princes while the Jataka tales were meant for the laypeople.)
Don’t be dissuaded by the religious-sounding title; the collection will work for all readers and is not theistic but humanitarian in its approach.
Heartily recommended to homes, schools and libraries. These would make for a wonderful gifting item as well. The target reading age of this book is ages 4-8. Younger kids will need reading assistance.
4.5 stars.

¡Qué bonito libro! Definitivamente ideal no sólo para niños.
Contiene mensajes e historias que valen la pena reflexionar e implementar.
Además algo que me encanta es la relación humano - naturaleza y las enseñanzas que se complementan entre ambos reinos.

Thanks to NetGalley and Shambhala Publications for allowing me to read an eARC copy of this book.
I shall preface this by saying that I am agnostic/atheist, yet I’ve nonetheless enjoyed many religious stories.
The illustrations are so beautiful, and the stories are short, sweet, and come with simple, lovely underlying messages like “try to do the right thing” and “everyone can make a difference”. Definitely a book I would love for any child to read.
NB: Like most Buddhist stories in general, there are no “you should love X” and “if you don’t believe in X you’ll go to hell” type of religious preaching.

Buddhist Stories for kids is a collection of ten short stories that have been narrated by Buddha himself about his many lives, hence these are called Jataka Tales(Birth Stories).
The first story is about a wise Monkey mother who gave a task to her kids to teach who is always watching them. The second story is about a wealthy man who lost his temper and how the Queen of the dogs taught him about decisions made in anger.
The third story is about an owlet who proves everyone can make a difference if they put their heart and soul to it. The fourth story is about a palash tree deep in the forest which appears differently for four different siblings, signifying the change the world undergoes.
The fifth story is about a parrot and a fig tree and about true friendship. The sixth story is about rumours and fears and their capability to scare even the mightiest and how they need to be faced.
The seventh story is about a Chinkara and how he taught a cruel hunter to open his heart. The eighth story is about a mischievous monkey and a Princess who taught about acknowledging mistakes and about forgiveness.
The ninth story is about a wise woman who teaches about sharing happiness. The tenth story is about a brave Monkey king and the Rajah who learnt about leadership and being a man of his word.
The ten stories have different storylines and backdrops but have a common thread of nature — trees, forests, wild life and how they lived in harmony with humans. The stories have wonderful messages which teach kids about life values, true friendships and relationships. Each story also features one wise character which was an earlier incarnation of Lord Buddha.
Each story is accompanied by mesmerising illustrations and hence a picture book like this one is apt for young minds to visualize a fantasy world along with learning important life lessons. All ten stories are equally good with all them having a good message at the end.
The author also gave details of the animals at the end of the book with a background of which country they are from, hence prompting the kids to learn more about each of them, especially those which are rare species. A perfect story book for young minds to introduce them to Jataka tales.

Buddhist Stories for Children is a warm and lovely collection that brings fresh life to the age-old Jataka stories—tales said to have been told by the Buddha himself about his past lives. Laura Burges skillfully narrows down to only ten of the more than 500 original stories, collecting them around a cohesive and symbolic theme: trees. With the Buddha's deep association with trees across his spiritual odyssey, this theme seems both considerate and symbolic.
.
The stories themselves are brief, compelling, and told in a readable style that will appeal to young readers. Each of the stories is only a few pages long and is accompanied by dynamic, evocative illustrations by Sonali Zohra that evoke the wonder of the tale and the spirit of nature. Although the essential plots stay true to the original Jataka parables, the author reconfigures the characters—sometimes altering species or genders—to better connect with modern readers without departing from their essence.
.
What is most striking is the subtle, non-preachy manner in which the book teaches its morals. Words of kindness, responsibility, honesty, and compassion are subtly introduced throughout every story, ensuring that they are ideal for reading in bed or at school. An end glossary featuring pictures, names, and trivia about the animals provides an engaging education element.
.
Perfect for 4–8 year olds, this is also a delight for parents, teachers, and even inquisitive adults. A gem of a book that is both fun and promotes empathy and mindfulness. Whether read at home, at schools, or in libraries, Buddhist Stories for Kids is a lovely gateway to Buddhist values via storytelling. An ideal gift and a richly rewarding read.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
For readers across the world, there have been countless moments when we’ve encountered stories about Buddha and his teachings. While these stories are rooted in a time long gone, their relevance continues to echo powerfully in today’s world.
‘Buddhist Stories for Kids’ is a thoughtful reinterpretation of these teachings, crafted in a way that is accessible and engaging for children. Enriched with dramatic, vibrant illustrations, this collection is a treasure trove of wisdom—for both young readers and adults alike.
The stories are woven seamlessly, with endearing characters and a simple yet compelling writing style that flows smoothly. What stood out most to me was how the stories gently introduce important values like friendship, kindness, forgiveness, honesty, unity, and hard work—virtues every child should learn.
A particularly thoughtful touch is the inclusion of facts about the various animals mentioned throughout the book—an educational bonus that adds even more depth to the reading experience.
Honestly, I believe this book deserves a place on every child’s (and adult’s!) bookshelf.

This is a thoughtful and quietly powerful collection of ten retold Jataka Tales, each one inviting young readers to reflect on kindness, courage, and the ripple effects of our actions. Through ten short stories, the Buddha takes on many forms such as a lion, a dog, a monkey, even a small owlet, each bringing a lesson that feels timeless yet deeply relevant. In each of the ten stories, various trees play a significant role.
The language is gentle and clear, just right for reading aloud. The author leaves space for the values at the heart of each tale to really settle. The lessons feel natural. They’re not dressed up or overexplained. A simple act of honesty, a moment of compassion, a choice to forgive, these are presented without fanfare, and that’s what makes them feel true.
Sonali Zohra’s illustrations complement the tone so beautifully. There’s a softness in the lines and colors that invites stillness and thought. It makes the book feel more like a shared moment than just a story. I remember reading Jataka Tales as a child, and I'm so glad that the legacy is still there for the generations to come.

This is a beautiful collection of wise and enchanting short stories for children.
The Buddha told stories about his many lifetimes before he was born as the Buddha, and these are called the Jataka tales or birth stories. Buddha was born under a tree and died under a tree, and the stories in this collection have a great connection with nature and trees. There are over 500 Jataka tales, but this one contains only 10. The author has stuck to the original spirit of the stories but has played with the plot, species and gender to make the stories relatable for today’s readers.
The stories are very interesting and easy to understand, and they will act as great moral lessons for children. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Sonali Zohra, the stories are brought to life with these visuals.
The stories teach great lessons about kindness, friendship, forgiveness, honesty, wisdom, bravery, change, and joy.
This is a must-have for all the children out there, and even adults can enjoy these beautifully written stories.

This is a collection of timeless and heartwarming stories that teach universal lessons about morality and ethics for kids and their families. Reading these with those we love seems to be a perfect example of how to embrace things like compassion, selflessness, right livelihood, and so much more! Bravo to Laura Burges who pairs her decades of teaching experience with Buddhism/Zen practices to bring together uplifting tales for all ages.

A beautiful book, and not just for children. I tend to savour books I love; hopefully it will take me months to read this one! I read one story whenever awake in the middle of the night, getting lost in each picture and in the wonderful connections between the Buddha and animals and trees. It puts you right where you need to be in the middle of the night. Highly recommended.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC. I am leaving an 100% honest review.
I adore fable and I really enjoy learning new ones from other cultures and religions. I liked how the lesson it tried to teach is at the bottom. Normally I can tell but sometimes it's nice to have a clue when children ask. Great book

Sort of an Aesop's Fables approach to human nature and the world around us. Not being a Buddhist, I am sure I am missing something. These stories are very entertaining and interesting, but would some would require an adult to flesh out some of the details in discussion. The illustrations are beautiful.
Level is probably 4th-6th grade.

Fire, just fire. Similar to Panchatantra and there's probably some overlap. The Queen of the Dogs is fun for the kids (teaches that wealth can be isolating and the importance of being open and generous to others). The Secret of the Palash Tree is absolute fire (teaches that all of life's seasons have beauty and value)!

I loved these because there are no bad guys-- just people seeing something new about the world and trying to do better. They are the first stories with "lessons" we've ever read that Wilder didn't (barf emoji) about.
