From His Holiness the Dalai Lama, renowned cartoonist, and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell, comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other.

At the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has traveled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There, in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small.

With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet—text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnells masterful illustrations—Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that "we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house." Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope, and change.

"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow."
