Description
A beautifully illustrated picture book that tells the classic Buddhist tale of a young servant girl's profound and life-changing encounter with the Buddha--for children ages 5-10.
Inspired by Buddhist tradition, this original story tells how Padme, a young servant girl, meets the Buddha as she is sweeping her master’s house. When she laments that she is so busy that she would never have time to meditate, the Buddha gives her the instruction to “sweep and clean.” This simple mindfulness practice transforms Padme’s life, and when she encounters the Buddha many years later, he teaches her how to send compassion out to others. This beautifully illustrated picture book is a wonderful way to introduce children to the power of mindfulness meditation practice.

The Sweeper would be an excellent addition to any classroom to add diversity of cultures and thinking. The Sweeper tells the tale of a young girl and her interactions with those around her and the teachings of Buddah. There can be value found in this book no matter what religion or culture you are a part of. It was an excellent reminder of mindfulness and being others focused.
