Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a sense of unfairness, lingering resentment after a disagreement, or the frustration of a 'bad' day. This beautiful collection of Zen parables helps children understand that how we perceive events is often more important than the events themselves. Through the gentle guidance of Stillwater, a giant panda, siblings Addy, Michael, and Karl learn to let go of anger, find patience, and embrace the unpredictability of life. It is an essential tool for teaching emotional regulation and perspective, perfect for children ages 4 to 9 who are beginning to navigate complex social dynamics and internal feelings. The watercolor illustrations provide a meditative backdrop for these timeless lessons in mindfulness and compassion.
