Naomi C. Rose, formerly a social worker and software engineer, had a series of dreams 12 years ago that led her to reroute her life. "Follow the path of Tibetan Buddhism" and "Go to art school in order to create children's books," her dreams told her. Lama Surya Das, a highly trained lama in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and author of several books, became her teacher, asking her to turn stories from his adult book of Tibetan folktales into children's stories to benefit children of the West. Thus was born Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas, Naomi's first vividly illustrated children's book, a recent recipient of the Nautilus Award. All of this called her to surrender her introverted ways and discover her public voice - a voice for peace and kindness in the world. Currently working on other books, she also offers Taste of Tibet programs for children, presenting storytelling, craft projects, chanting and slide shows.
