display_description
"A children's story (ages 6-10) about Ashoka, the famed Indian emperor (c. 268 to 232 BCE), who began his rule with incredible violence and cruelty but later had a great transformation and became an important propagator of Buddhism. This telling will highlight the potential for transformation upon seeing the suffering caused by following one's own desires and discovering the joy in harnessing one's power and energy to benefit others."--
