Stillwater the panda meets the neighbor children and tells each one a short zen story that is in some way a response to their situation. The stories are thought-provoking and make this a great book for discussion with older children.

Many great messages for kids and adults. Beautiful illustrations.

My son loves this book, and it's a great way for us, as we read it over and over, to remind ourselves of some important truths. Well worth getting for every kid you know who won't be offended by Buddhism. (You don't have to be Buddhist to appreciate it.)

A very cute book for kids. It teaches them lessons through kid friendly stories and very entertaining. My son loved it.

I love this book. The art is wonderful and I love the 3 stories presented. Also, pandas are my favorite.
