Little Birds: A Flock of Poems with Messages of Gandhi
By Srimati Karuna
In one of Mahatma Gandhi's letters to the children of his ashram, he addressed them as “little birds.” Just as children around the world are introduced to morals and ideals through stories of animals, this flock of poems brings messages from Mahatma Gandhi through stories told by and about birds. This book breathes through the wings of birds in rhyming verse. The poems are inspired by beloved folk tales and stories gathered from the Panchatantra, the Jataka tales, the Upanishads, the Bible, the Qur’an, Attar’s Conference of the Birds, Aesop’s Fables and more. The artwork has been offered by a variety of artists to share the visual imagery expressed by the poems. Each unique style presents a loving contribution. Available on Amazon.
