What this book is about
In this beautifully illustrated book, three children meet their new neighbor, Stillwater, a panda who teaches them Zen through the example of his life, his experiences with them and the stories he tells them.
My experience
I really enjoyed reading this to my daughter and she enjoyed the stories of the children’s experiences with the panda and the stories he tells them. She’s 7 so she had a lot of questions afterward.
Law of attraction caution
For those of you who don’t want to read anything to your children that they don’t want to experience you should know that one of the stories the panda tells is about a robber. Of course, the person being robbed (the panda’s uncle) gave the robber everything he had (which was only his robe) since the robber obviously needed it more than he did.
Conclusions
I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading the other ones that are available or getting the stuffed panda. The pictures are beautiful and the stories inspiring.
