Summary

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。

INSPIRING IMAGES: Depicted in bold brush strokes reminiscent of calligraphy, big, fluffy Panda and tiny, wiry Dragon journey through rolling hills, wooded forests, and blooming meadows in more than 120 elegant black-and-white and full-color scenes。 

FOR READERS OF ALL AGES: From youngsters at story time to new graduates with the world ahead of them to adults in moments of challenge or transition, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon offer comfort, inspiration, and a wry smile for every reader。       
WORK OF ART: Featuring a beautiful cover and a collection of stunning illustrations, each one more beautiful than the next, every page in this book is worthy of framing。

HEARTFELT GIFT: Full of wisdom and touching humor, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon  makes a thoughtful gift to be treasured。

Ο,τι κι αν πει κανείς για αυτό το βιβλίο θα είναι λίγο! Εξαιρετικό, απλά ΘΗΣΑΥΡΟΣ!!!

این کتاب حکم این نقل و قول رو داشت برام: «صدای پیچیدن باد توی درخت‌ها رو می‌شنوی اژدهای کوچیک؟ طبیعت اینجوری به ما می‌گه یه لحظه بایستیم، نفس بکشیم و فقط باشیم。»

Nádherná kniha。 Dostáva sa u mňa na poličku medzi tie srdcovky, ktoré pohladia dušu kedykoľvek ich otvoríte。 Lebo občas stačí málo slov na to, aby sme povedali všetko dôležité。

Truly a profound and beautiful read, I will always recommend this。

I love this, the images meant so much and what the book wants to teach us a very valuable lesson。 good things can happen after the bad。 the smallest things can bring happiness。 it's okay to give up, you can try it again tomorrow。 this book impulses me to simply live。 everyone should read this book。(P。S: the art is beautiful) I love this, the images meant so much and what the book wants to teach us a very valuable lesson。 good things can happen after the bad。 the smallest things can bring happiness。 it's okay to give up, you can try it again tomorrow。 this book impulses me to simply live。 everyone should read this book。(P。S: the art is beautiful) 。。。more

Similar to The Boy, the fox, the mole, and the horse, except with Buddhist philosophies and, of course, different titular characters。 This didn’t hit home for me as much as the other, but I have a special place in my heart for Panda so of course this will be going into my childrens boom repertoir。

Like a big warm hug from your safest person。 Made me feel safe。 I really needed this book。 Definitely a new favourite and the art is so beautiful。

Σταγόνες σοφίας σε κάθε σελίδα。 Πολύ όμορφο βιβλίο που διαβάζεται με μια ανάσα αλλά θέλεις να το έχεις στο κομοδίνο σου ως σωσίβιο για τις δύσκολες ώρες。

This is a wonderful gift to the world。 You should savor each page slowly, like I did not。

This is a beautiful book。 With magnificent drawings and simple and heartfelt messages you can dip in and out of this book when feeling stressed to help bring some serenity and calmness。 It’s lovely to have it nearby to pick up and read at any time。 Big Panda and Tiny Dragon are beautifully illustrated。

Книгата е прекрасна! Изключително професионално и красиво издание, с чудесни послания и илюстрации!

Net als ‘De jongen, de mol, de vos en het paard’ van Charlie Mackesy een heel lief boekje over de vriendschap tussen grote panda en kleine draak。 Ze wandelen samen door het jaar en het leven heen。 Geïllustreerd met prachtige tekeningen。

Chad

Picked this book up without having known anything about it。 It just looked like beautiful artwork and sage, Buddhist inspired wisdom。 The bookshop clerk offered that she had a rough day recently and this book was exactly what she needed。 Loved it so much I ended up buying another one as a gift。 A beautiful hardback。 A true treasure!

A hug in the form of a book。

Un libro con un texto muy sencillo pero filosófico, las imágenes son muy bonitas。

Loved every page and the art is so lovely! Hope James continues with his work that also my child loved。The Big Panda and Tiny Dragon really get under your skin pretty fast。。。

This book made me cry, no kidding! It is pretty much about everything important in life。 Things that are often overlooked and forgotten in everyday rush。 But reading this didn’t just remind me of those things, but also of the most important one, to be present and focused only on today, the tea (or coffee) were drinking, the task at hand (difficult or not) or the person we’re sharing the moment with。 Everyone else is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things。

Взех книгата за децата, но докато им четах ми стана толкова мило, че не ми се искаше да свършва。 Много красива и топла книга。

Az illusztrációk gyönyörűek, élmény volt lapozni。 A szövegben megvan az ismerős csendes-melankolikus hangulat, a klisébe fordulás állandó fenyegetettségével, akárcsak Charlie Mackesy könyvénél, de itt valahogy nekem nem volt teljesen rendben。 Talán magyarul kevésbé vagyok erre fogékony, talán a fordítás nem talált el tökéletesen, talán a comic reliefnek szánt nagyon angol poénok nem ültek (pl az ezer mérföldes út, ami itt nem egy lépéssel, hanem teázással kezdődik; vagy az 'attól, hogy nem tudod Az illusztrációk gyönyörűek, élmény volt lapozni。 A szövegben megvan az ismerős csendes-melankolikus hangulat, a klisébe fordulás állandó fenyegetettségével, akárcsak Charlie Mackesy könyvénél, de itt valahogy nekem nem volt teljesen rendben。 Talán magyarul kevésbé vagyok erre fogékony, talán a fordítás nem talált el tökéletesen, talán a comic reliefnek szánt nagyon angol poénok nem ültek (pl az ezer mérföldes út, ami itt nem egy lépéssel, hanem teázással kezdődik; vagy az 'attól, hogy nem tudod, hová mész, még nem biztos, hogy eltévedtél'-re adott válasz - Ez igaz, de mi határozottan eltévedtünk。)。 A very Bri'ish understatement talán csak eredetiben működik igazán, és jobban kizökkentett volna egy baromira eltévedéssel, csak ugye nem az volt ott。 Ha szembejön angolul is, nem fogok elugrani előle。 Így maradt valami nehezen meghatározható kellemetlen érzésem a szöveggel kapcsolatban。 A képek viszont fantasztikusak。 。。。more

Este libro es hermoso, cada página es una enseñanza, un respiro, un aliento。El trabajo del ilustrador es tan hermoso que resulta mágico pasar cada una de las páginas。 Siento una sensación hermosa y placentera después de haberlo leído, es más, acabé con tres paqueticos de post-it azules jajaja。Es un libro que definitivamente todo el mundo debería leer y tener, porque en cualquier momento volver a abrirlo ayudará y dará fuerzas。
