Book Description

In "Is Nothing Something?" Zen Master Thich Nhat answers heartfelt, difficult, and funny questions from children of all ages. Illustrated with original full color artwork by Jessica McClure, "Is Nothing Something?" will help adults plant the seeds of mindfulness in the young children in their lives. Beginning with the most basic questions, "What is important in life" and "Why is my brother mean to me" and progressing through issues that we all wrestle with, such as "How do I know if I really love somebody," "How long am I going to live?" and "What does God look like?," each page presents a question with a short answer from Thich Nhat Hanh, appropriate for beginning readers to work with on their own. The back of the book has practices adults can use with their children to go deeper into the answers and the first complete children's biography of Thich Nhat Hanh, along with an appendix of In-depth explanations and further commentary for adults. Both humorous and profound, "Is Nothing Something?" is the perfect resource for kids with questions, adults looking for how to answer them, and anyone with questions of their own.

Author portrait of Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh was​ a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, and peace activist and one of the most revered and influential spiritual teachers in the world​. Born in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at the age of sixteen. His work for peace and reconciliation during the war in Vietnam moved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. In Vietnam, Thich Nhat Hanh founded Van Hanh Buddhist University and the School of Youth for Social Service, a corps of Buddhist peace​ workers. Exiled as a result of his work for peace, he continued his humanitarian efforts, rescuing boat people and helping to resettle refugees. ​In 1982 he established Plum Village France, the largest Buddhist monastery in Europe​ and the hub of the international Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism​.​​ Over seven decades of teaching, he published a hundred books, which have been translated into more than forty languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide.
