The Best of Maggie Hess: Hojoki for Children, Dreaming Flowers, The Adventures of Silhouette Man, and Eleven Recent Paintings

This treasury, the first hardback book by Maggie Hess, contains her 3 most prominent children's books: Hojoki for Children, Dreaming Flowers, and The Adventures of Silhouette Man, plus Eleven Recent Paintings. Hojoki for children tells a story about a great peace of Japanese literature, Hojoki retold for children. In it a whirlwind, earthquake, and fire in twelfth century Japan, and a man who disassembled his house, threw it in the river, and reassembled it downstream... many times, until he was left with Hojoki, a ten by ten foot hut he wrote about in his happy last years. Dreaming Flowers tells a story of impermanence. The Adventures of Silhouette Man is a fun story for children or adults involving conflict transformation as a response to bullying.
