IN SEARCH OF THE THUNDER DRAGON

by Sophie and Romio Shrestha

This lavishly illustrated full-color book brings to life the ancient story of the Thunder Dragons that play hide-and-seek in the clouds during big winter storms. Amber and her cousin set off on a journey that takes them from an elaborate monastery to the top of the mountains. In this beautiful adventure the children find what they seek, unravelling the mysteries of Buddha along the way. Highly recommended!

In the mountainous kingdom of Bhutan, "Land of the Thunder Dragon," two children undertake a quest in search of the famously elusive thunder dragons. Their journey takes them to a remote monastery, to the mountain aerie of a winged tiger, and even up into the swirling clouds of a dramatic thunderstorm. The exciting things they experience and hear do not cause them harm or fear.

Weaving together Bhutanese legends and storytelling traditions with the lush colors and stylized motifs of Tibetan Buddhist art, this beautiful picture book opens a window on the little-known culture of Bhutan.
