The Day the Thoughts Got Stuck

Rosa wants a robot for her birthday, but when she doesn't get the one she wants, she finds that her angry and dissatisfied thoughts stick to her like glue, and she can't seem to get rid of them. Three unusual characters arrive, each promising to remove the negative thoughts from her head, but each one fails and in fact only serves to make the situation worse. Finally a new character appears, and it leads Rosa to the truth about how to combat ignorance, hate, and greed so that she can find happiness, even when things don't go exactly as planned. This fun story, told in rhyme, is delightfully illustrated and includes pages in the back that provide an explanation of the basics of Buddhist philosophy, questions for discussion, and resources for further explanation.
