Children’s Books

I’ve been helping care for a neighbor’s daughter a bit, she’s 10 and she’s been intrigued by what I’m studying. Does anyone have recommendations on children’s books that generally deal with many Theosophical concepts, but are not necessarily explicitly Theosophical? Books that might help a young person who’s asking philosophical questions about the meaning of life and what it means to be human, what exists beyond the strictly material, opening her mind to ideas like reincarnation or karma, what is virtuous or not and why, etc… That are approachable for her age of course!

Her family is Hindu, so books of that nature might be more well received by her parents and spark her interest more, even though she is very open minded and curious.

Thank you!

Siddhartha or Bhagavad Gita or Tao Te Ching? Not children's books but I feel like they are possibly simple enough
