Namaste!
By Diana Cohn,
Illustrated by Amy Cordova,
Afterword by Ang Rita Sherpa
In Namaste! Nima learns that she brightens the day for friends and strangers alike when she shares her sweetness and light, every time she says “Namaste.”
Delightful details of daily life in Nepal are woven into this simple, gentle story about recognizing and honoring the sacred in one another.
Namaste! is lusciously illustrated by artist Amy Cordóva, with a glossary of terms at the end of the book, and an informative afterword by Ang Rita Sherpa of The Mountain Institute.
