(review by Mirjam)
You have probably seen this book in different stores. It's widely available but not so widely known. This book gets 5 stars on every website I looked at.
While it is a children's book with fantastic illustrations, it makes a wonderful gift for an adult who loves to read.
Stillwater the giant panda lives up the hill from three children. As each child pays a visit to the panda, he offers them a story. These tales are zen shorts (short meditations) that offer ideas to ponder. Great discussion for kids and very philosophical for adults.
I can't recommend it enough!!!

Beautifully illustrated. My daughter asked for it to be read over and over again and I was always happy to oblige. This one's a keeper!
My favorite story is about the man who carried his burden. I have to get a copy for myself.
There are lots of cheap new copies on Amazon.
