 /strong></p>\n<p><b>From award-winning and<span>&nbsp\;</span><i>New York 
 Times</i><span>&nbsp\;</span>bestselling author-illustrator Grace Lin come
 s a gorgeous picture book about a community coming together to build somet
 hing beautiful.&nbsp\;</b><br /><br /><span>When a small stone Buddha fall
 s off a cyclist&rsquo\;s wagon\, he lands in a neglected part&nbsp\;of a b
 usy city street. People often throw trash here\, turning this part of the 
 city into a rather unpleasant sight. But as passersby begin to notice the 
 little stone Buddha\, they start to wonder: what if we each made a small c
 hange that brightened this shared part of our community?</span><br /><br /
 ><span>Inspired by a true story\,&nbsp\;</span><i>The Little Stone Buddha<
 span>&nbsp\;</span></i><span>shows us how&nbsp\;a small action&mdash\;or\,
  in this case\, a small Buddha&mdash\;can change a moment\, which can chan
 ge a decision\, which can change the spirit\, which can\, in the end\, cha
 nge&nbsp\;</span><i>everything</i><span>.</span></p>\n<p><img src="https:/
