From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt’s cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.

At the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small . . .

With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet—text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell’s masterful illustrations—Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that “we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.” Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.

“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.”

Un hilarante recordatorio de cómo la tecnología nos puede llevar hacia atrás... ¡a la época de las cavernas!

"Había una vez, hace mucho, mucho tiempo, o tal vez ayer… un niño que vivía en una cueva."

La era tecnológica tiene muchos aspectos positivos, pero también un sinfín de consecuencias negativas, sobre todo para las nuevas generaciones. Una de estas consecuencias es que al tener una interacción excesiva con aparatos electrónicos, como tabletas, computadoras o teléfonos inteligentes, muchos niños y niñas dejan de relacionarse con su entorno. La realidad virtual poco a poco comienza a ocupar el lugar de la realidad concreta. Recurriendo a su característico ingenio y mediante un enfoque humorístico, Patrick McDonnell aborda dicha problemática en un libro dirigido a los niños, pero cuyo mensaje es válido para las personas de todas las edades. Es la historia de Tek, un niño cavernícola que vive encerrado en su cueva, pegado a sus dispositivos electrónicos. Su aislamiento le ha impedido darse cuenta de que en el exterior hay un mundo grande y hermoso esperándolo. Un detalle curioso es que el libro tiene la forma de una tableta electrónica.
