Reviews

[Hadiqa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Intro to important basics and suitable for children. Lots of pictures and information about how people used it in their daily life. Surprised to know Dimond Sutra is the oldest printed book in the world.

"Better than a thousand useless words is one single word that brings peace..." is a quote I fell in love with!
