Tom Taylor’s The Path of the Dalai Lama is a thoughtful, visually compelling graphic biography that traces the spiritual and political journey of one of the world’s most enduring figures of peace. With clarity and reverence, it captures the young Tenzin Gyatso’s transformation into the 14th Dalai Lama, his exile from Tibet, and his unwavering message of compassion amid conflict.

The art complements the narrative with grace—evoking not just historical moments, but emotional depth. Without oversimplifying complex geopolitics, the book remains accessible to younger readers while resonating with adults. It’s less a hagiography and more a human portrait—timely, inspiring, and quietly powerful.
