Buddha by Demi, Henry Holt (1996, Reinforced Hardcover)

This book by Demi is a nice first introduction of Buddhism to elementary age students. The illustrations are also by Demi and they are really quite lovely, especially for the young reader who processes information visually. the language is clear and quite simple to understand. I was happy to find this lovely gem of a book with its simple explanations and simple, flowing, Asian style paintings.
