Description:
When a giant panda named Stillwater moves in next door, three siblings — Addy, Michael, and Karl — become fast friends with their calm, wise new neighbour. Each child visits Stillwater with a different worry, and each time, he answers with a gentle old story: about generosity, about luck, about letting go of anger. Beautifully illustrated and quietly profound, this 2006 Caldecott Honor book introduces young readers to timeless Zen wisdom through simple, moving tales — showing that even big life lessons can be shared over tea, with a giant, huggable panda by your side.
