Soft Courage: A True-Life Fable: Discovering Wisdom Through Adventure

Soft Courage reminds us of the things that matter and make people and the planet a better place. It is told by Yannick--a soft-toy penguin. Together with Tess, "My Human," they take on real-life challenges: hanging precariously on the rock face overlooking Rio for 11 days, biking the length of Britain and tackling peace climbs on far-flung Andean and Himalayan mountains. Their ultimate mission: to raise funds for Tibet and to promote peace on earth. Tess Burrows tells Yannick's story as he battles with his ego and overcomes adversity to learn principles inspired by Tibetan wisdom: courage, compassion, friendship, inner peace, humility, determination, oneness and insight. Is Yannick's journey a reflection of Tess's adventure through life and can these principles, mixed with loss and love, lead to eventual happiness?
