Heart to Heart: A Conversation on Love and Hope for Our Precious Planet is a book by the fourteenth Dalai Lama and artist Patrick McDonnell. The book calls on young people to face the challenges of climate change with passionate compassion for other living beings and to act with kindness whenever possible. The story begins with an improbable visitor, a giant panda, showing up at the Dalai Lama's doorstep. Together, they venture out into the wilderness to contemplate the delicate interleaving of life within it. The Dalai Lama tells his life story, laced with his relationship to the natural world. He calls for a compassionate revolution, a call for radical reorientation away from our habitual preoccupation with the self. He emphasizes that everything is interdependent and inseparable and that our individual well-being is intimately connected to the environment within which we live. He explores how this change begins within, by cultivating a peaceful mind and a peaceful heart for oneself.

Out this week: The Super Hero’s Journey

Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell wrote and drew this somewhat autobiographical graphic novel that also features Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and other Marvel characters.

In it, McDonnell “brings together his inspirational and moral sensibilities from throughout his career and muses on how comics changed his life and set him on the course to become a cartoonist.”

In addition to McDonnell’s drawings, it also features artwork from many classic Marvel titles, which he uses to help tell this very personal story. (Abrams/Marvel, $29.99)
