“Our Lumi, a radiant sphere of altruistic intention, wends her way through a sequence of ethereal drawings and challenging situations, guiding us to an understanding of how pure motivation can change the interdependence of everything. I loved this book and look forward to sharing it with the wise children I have the good fortune to know."

– Chagdud Khadro, spiritual director, Chagdud Gonpa Brazil and Chagdud Gonpa Hispanoamerica

“In this materialist age in which people’s minds and actions seem more dominated by self-interest and individualism than ever before, we urgently need to convey the Buddha’s message of kindness and compassion if we are to save this earth and indeed ourselves. And so, I greatly welcome Molly Coxe’s adventure story for children about a being who fully lives and embodies these transcendent virtues. This is what the next generation needs to hear and to know if humanity is to have a future worth living.”

– Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

“A luminous tale, gorgeously illustrated, that will inspire children to act on their capacities for kindness.”

– Sumi Loundon Kim, author of Sitting Together: A Family-Centered Curriculum on Mindfulness, Meditation, and Buddhist Teachings

“Lumi brings tears of joy and awe! Coxe's multimedia designs echo her lyrical words with a perfect mix of literality and interpretation. With more of a felt sense than telling, Lumi communicates that individuals are powerful when we tap into our light—and even more powerful as a community. This story of bold compassion celebrates connection with, and comfort in, nature and others. I highly recommend it. Emaho!”
