A Zen Buddhist story for all ages on how to cultivate harmony amid our differences. "It's true that we are all different squashes . . . some are bigger and some are smaller . . . some are rounder and some are longer. But even if we are different, we are all connected. We are all growing together. We don't have to be such squabbling squashes." A story for children of all ages about interconnection and learning to live in harmony amid differences, from a leading light of contemporary Zen--based on a parable from Kosho Uchiyama's classic bestseller Opening the Hand of Thought.
