The Beautiful Mare and The Boy Who Gave Thanks is a stunningly illustrated children's book with a profound message that has been a long time coming. Based on a classic 2500 year old parable, this book has taken more than a decade to write and more than 2 years to illustrate.

As we follow the tale of the little boy, and the things that happen to him, we are shown examples of how he approached each circumstance with equanimity, and being open to discovering new ways. Throughout the story we learn how what appears to be 'bad' or a 'problem' actually can be a 'blessing in disguise', and by going with the flow of life, we are led to gratitude, love, joy and wisdom.

This inspiring ancient parable answers the question: "What's the best response to loss or pain?" and depicts the different attitudes to change and how staying open to possibility can create a joyous life filled with gratitude.
