Winner at the 2016 International Latino Book Awards. After Yoga in the Jungle comes A treasure in the peaks . Are you ready to climb the highest peaks and learn to meditate?
Our two friends from different cultures, Ravi and Tony, continue their journey and go in search of teachings and wisdom as they travel through India. Eyes wide ope, in the world’s highest peaks, they will discover that the most valuable treasure of all—a happy, peaceful life—is found within each and every one of us. They will learn to meditate to know and master the mind, which is like a crazy monkey that jumps around and never stays in one place.
A Treasure in the Peaks includes suggestions for simple exercises to improve concentration and attention, introducing young readers to the benefits of meditation: focusing on the sound of bird song, feeling each step we take with our feet, or noticing how our hearts fill with joy.
“I am telling you about two wonderful stories that I discovered a while ago. They are based on stories with real characters: children, animals, adults, etc. As close to reality as possible." —Aprendiendo con Montessori
