Moody Cow Learns Compassion

This delightful sequel to Moody Cow Meditates reintroduces Peter, aka Moody Cow, and his mischievous friend Bully. The boys encounter a snake named Jaws, and Peter watches as Bully revels in the deaths of the crickets he feeds the snake. Peter's discomfort earns him a new nickname from Bully: "Coward Cow." Luckily, Peter's grandfather — the beloved old steer from Moody Cow Meditates—brings serenity as he gently teaches Bully to compassionately identify with other beings. The story ends with everyone sharing a laugh—even Jaws and the crickets! This book also includes two activities—compassionate cricket release and compassionate worm rescue—for parents and children.

PRAISE
"Compassion arises through developing empathy with the misfortune of others. Without resorting to heavy-handed moralizing, Kerry Lee MacLean manages to embody this profound spiritual truth in a tale that young children—and the parents who read it to them—will find engaging and instructive. Highly recommended." —Jon Landaw, author of Prince Siddhartha: The Story of Buddha (children's book) and Buddhism for Dummies

"Kerry Lee MacLean continues to entertain and inform through her delightful stories. Thank you, Moody Cow, for showing us how to cultivate compassion. The courage and heart to do so, especially when facing a bully, is a good lesson for us all—and this book makes it easy for young and old alike to take the same steps." —Lauren Alderfer, author of Mindful Monkey, Happy Panda
