Enlighten Me (a Graphic Novel) | Minh Le

3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

Award-winning author Minh Lź and New York Times bestselling illustrator Chan Chau team up for a fun and enlightening graphic novel about one kid's journey to finding inner peace and belonging. Perfect for fans of Measuring Up and New Kid. When Bģnh fights back against a bully who makes fun of his Vietnamese heritage, he expects to be cheered as the hero. He defeated the bad guy, right? Instead, it gets him a stern warning from his vice principal and worried parents. Now he's stuck on a family trip to a silent meditation retreat. That means no talking--and no video games!--for a whole weekend. Could things possibly get any worse? However, when a nun gathers all the kids to tell them the Jataka tales--the stories of the Buddha's many past lives--Bģnh takes a fantastical dive into his imagination and starts to see himself in these stories. Will he retreat further into himself, or will he emerge from the weekend open to change? With any luck, these next few days will prove more enlightening than he thought.

Enlighten Me (a Graphic Novel) | Minh Le

Sweet graphic novel that was nowhere on my radar until seen on a list of nominees for our College Book program. Taught me some new things about Buddhism (albeit basic ones - I need to learn more!). And as a casual meditator, I appreciated a new-to-me metaphor for those thoughts that always pop up - like a leaf falling on your head that you can gently place into the river and watch float away.
