A Zen Buddhist story for all ages on how to cultivate harmony amid our differences. A story for children of all ages about interconnection and learning to live in harmony amid differences, from a leading light of contemporary Zen--based on a parable from Kosho Uchiyama's classic bestseller Opening the Hand of Thought. "[Squabbling Squashes] offers a teaching which is perfectly suited for the heart of a child and yet merits a lifetime of careful tending and cultivation. A gorgeous, colorful picture book . . . this read is equally light and profound." --Lion's Roar
