Big Panda and Tiny Dragon by James Norbury
$19.99
Food for the soul. CBS Mornings A thought-provoking journey of companionship, courage, tenderness, and tea. Big Panda and Tiny Dragon embark on a journey through the seasons of the year together. They get lost, as many of us do. But while lost, they discover many beautiful sights they'd never have found had they gone the right way. Told through a series of beautiful drawings and quiet, sometimes silly, conversations, the panda and the dragon explore the thoughts and emotions, hardships and happiness that connect us all. In nature, they learn how to live in the moment, how to be at peace with uncertainty, and how to find the strength to overcome life's obstacles together. Inspired by Buddhist philosophy and spirituality, British author and artist James Norbury created the adventures of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon to share ideas that have helped him through difficult times. The book's series of vignettes can be read cover to cover or dipped into whenever inspiration is needed. James hopes the book's words and images will inspire others to pause, enjoy the stillness, and look at life in a positive new way. WORDS OF WISDOM- The seemingly simple, and often silly, conversations between Big Panda and Tiny Dragon reveal meaningful insights on friendship, inner wisdom, and self-acceptance.

Captivating
On a visit to some friends, I was pleased to be shown this book that they'd received as a gift. I proceeded to read it from cover to cover which didn't impress my wife as apparently that's not the point of visiting friends. I was captivated by both the words and the delightful illustrations as I followed Panda and Dragon on their travels. This is an awesome read that you'll want to return to time and time again - I know I will

Delightful Story for any age
I love the simplistic storytelling that teaches, but doesn't preach. The illustrations are beautiful and I think children will delight in the relationship between the tiny dragon and the quiet big panda.
