A timeless Buddhist tale that tells the story of how a small bird saved a burning forest.

Even though she can only sprinkle drops of water onto the blaze, her perseverance, courage, and compassion eventually save the forest in an unexpected way. Zen teacher and acclaimed storyteller Rafe Martin and award-winning illustrator Demi have brought this centuries-old classic to life in a beautiful and timeless tale that will inspire all of us to find our own bravery and to act selflessly for the benefit of all.
