The 14th Dalai Llama’s life is fully
documented in this page-turning
and vivid account, Boy On The
Lion Throne (Roaring Brook,
$18.95). Author Elizabeth Cody
Kimmel focuses on what it was like
for a three-year old to be chosen
for Tibet’s highest position as
spiritual leader. By the time he was
four, Tibetans came from all over
to ask for the Dali Lama’s blessing. With photographs
throughout, Kimmel’s new biography leads up to the
international spiritual figure that the Dalai Llama has
become, and gives historical context to the current conflict
between China and Tibet. Ages 9 up.
