Tibetan Children Books: Kawaripa strives to compile, translate, and introduce the rich ancient Tibetan folk stories to the children around the world. It is an attempt to resuscitate the folktales and legends of Tibet from the verge of fading out of people's memory. Through these folk-stories the societal codes and moral values were passed on to the children. We hope the children around the world will enjoy reading these tales and appreciate the moral and spiritual messages the stories convey.
