In this ancient parable from India, a forest-dwelling hunter learns that cruelty has consequences and that compassion has rewards. When the hunter meets the wise man Narada, "Do unto others as they would do unto you" takes on a very concrete meaning: the sage leads the hunter on an imagined journey — where he becomes the hunted. The hunter has a change of heart and begins to live in peace with the animals he once pursued. Kosa Ely adapts this traditional Indian tale, presenting the golden rule in a new and appealing way. Anna Johansson evokes animals and forests with fine lines and luminous colors.
