Today, Miss Jan from The Woodlands Children's Museum is reading “The Seed of Compassion: Lessons from the Life and Teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares lessons of peace, kindness, and compassion with children through stories from his own childhood. Children are never too young to learn these important life lessons.
