“When a child first asks why people suffer, Siddharth’s own search is a gentle place to begin. Soft pastel pages keep that heavy question calm, closer to wonder than worry.”
A prince leaves his sleeping wife and son to seek the truth.
The Life of Gautam Buddha is a gentle, full-colour comic biography of Prince Siddharth and his search for an answer to suffering.
Siddharth has every comfort a palace can offer, yet one question gives him no peace. Leaving is far from easy, and he visits his wife Yasodhara's chamber one last time. The comic then follows him into the silent forest and long years of doubt and solitude.
Why readers love it
