![]() ![]() ![]() Like Nikolai, many of us are grappling with the three questions. MELISSA: While this text is almost 20 years old, it seems tailor made for today. The best time is now, the important one is who you are with this moment, and the right thing to do is what needs doing in the moment. With wise Leo’s guidance, Nikolai learns the answers to his three questions. While there, Nikolai saves a hurt panda and her cub. Nikolai hikes up a mountain to ask Leo, the old turtle for help. The main character, Nikolai, decides that this can be solved by asking three questions: “What is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? And what is the right thing to do?” He asks his many animal friends, but their selfish answers don’t help. This picture book, based on a story by Leo Tolstoy, tackles the very human quandary of how to be a good person. This week Seemi and Melissa give their takes on a classic picturebook, The Three Questions, that helps children understand mindfulness.
