Askalotte and The Wise Buddha

The story

Askalotte is an adorable Goop who rings her little bell before asking question after question, far too many of them. In the park she meets a long-haired dog named Li, who invites her to China.

A fierce wind leaves Askalotte clinging to a giant stone Buddha. To find Li again she must learn one word that brings peace, and cross a rice field with a dragon sleeping underneath, with only a red panda named Hong to help.

The real place: China

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

1. 1The Leshan Giant Buddha in China was carved into a cliff more than 1,200 years ago and is one of the tallest stone Buddhas in the world.
2. 2In the mountains of China, farmers grow rice on terraces that climb the hills like giant steps.
3. 3Red pandas live in the mountain forests of China, spend most of their time in trees, and eat mostly bamboo.
