Nanmeebooks, in cooperation with the Buddhadasa Indapanno Archives, has launched a dhamma books for children donation project to celebrate the 2,600th anniversary of the Lord Buddha's enlightenment this year.
Mae Ning and Bella with Dhamma Storybooks is a set of four books by socialite Saraiyachat "Ning" Kunjara na Ayudhya that teach children about everyday religious practices like alms-giving, sanghatan offering and meditation.
The other book set, Novice Kaew and Noi Chaiya, written by Suan Mokh Bangkok, is a set of six adventure books in which the two main characters fight against devils and through their story takes the young readers to various places. The two book sets will make an ideal addition to school and community libraries.
Donors can buy the books, Mae Ning at 329 baht a set and Novice Kaew at 620 baht a set and give them to their designated libraries by themselves or have it done through leading bookstores that have joined the project, such as Nanmeebooks Shop, Se-Ed, B2S and Chulalongkorn University Bookshop. The promotion runs until Aug 31.
