An adventurous retelling of a classic Tibetan Buddhist tale in which a young man, charged with obtaining a sacred relic for his dying mother, instead attempts to deceive her by returning with a tooth from the skeleton of a dog. The suspenseful yet humorous story movingly conveys how the mother's strong faith has the power to fulfill her dreams. Its message will captivate and inspire readers ages 8 and up and the full-color illustrations -- a miracle of imagination in themselves -- will transport them to faraway Tibet and India.
