Description

"James has a way to speak to your soul. This book is nothing short of comforting and heartwarming" - Vex King "A beautifully illustrated book which draws on tender moments. Exquisite" - Dr. Rangan Chatterjee A guiding light in the darker months, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon is the beautifully illustrated and mindful journey of two friends through the seasons, inspired by Buddhist philosophy 'Which is more important,' asked Big Panda, 'the journey or the destination?' 'The company,' said Tiny Dragon. Friends Big Panda and Tiny Dragon journey through the seasons of the year together, day and night, in rain and in sun. Traveling through nature, they find hope and inspiration in the world around them, realizing that even in the darkest of days, Spring will always return. Feel the calming influence of Big Panda, who reminds us of the bigger picture while appreciating the simplicity of small moments. Explore your surroundings with the inquisitive eye of Tiny Dragon, our friend who is big in heart if not in stature. And on their journey through the ever-changing seasons, join these two friends as they learn how to live in the moment, be at peace with uncertainty, and find the strength to overcome life's obstacles, together. Inspired by Buddhist philosophy and spirituality, the story of these whimsical characters makes the perfect gift for anyone looking for a little hope and comfort. 'The two friends often find themselves lost but discover beautiful sights they never would have found if they had gone the right way. While the drawings have the charm of Winnie-the-Pooh, the captions have the depth of ancient proverbs' Guardian Read more

Homeschool Circle Time Favorites
Another circle time favorite in our homeschool is Big Panda and Tiny Dragon by James Norbury. This beautiful book has become such a meaningful part of our mornings. We love gathering together, reading a few pages, looking at the gorgeous illustrations, and talking about the simple but powerful messages throughout the story. It gives us so many opportunities to have thoughtful conversations about friendship, kindness, courage, patience, and navigating life’s little challenges. It’s exactly the kind of book I love having in our homeschool library: beautiful, calming, meaningful, and one we can come back to at different ages and stages. Definitely a circle time favorite! ... show more

Timeless gift
I love this book and I love the drawings. The author makes many more books similar style and I feel like they are really good to read if you’re in a heavy spot and you can just pick it up and open a page and there’s always good advice. It’s really good for neurodivergence and people who get overwhelmed easily. ... show more

Beautiful Book
I’ve wanted this book to add to my collection and when I saw the great price during Amazon Prime Day I just had to get it. It arrived on time and was wrapped with care so there wouldn’t be any damage. The story and words of wisdom are thought provoking and the illustrations are beautiful. I would highly recommend. ... show more

Absolutely must read. Children and adults alike!
One of the best books I've ever read. Fell in love instantly and bought everything else this author has written. I love reading this to my kids at bedtime. It's almost like a parable but not. If that makes sense... Beautiful life lessons. A great reminder for people to stop and reflect. Enjoy the journey. Absolutely must read. ... show more

I highly recommend this book! I received it from my friend when I was going through a hard time and I have since sent it to others going through hard times. It’s precious and so relevant. Beautiful gift to lift someone’s spirit.

Love love love! ❤️
I love this book! The art is adorable and the way it's set up you can read start to finish or just flip though to find good quotes. My favorite is "The waves are not the ocean and the thoughts are not the mind." I gifted a few copies to friends and they've loved it too. Perfect for a gift or when you need a quiet moment of reflection. ... show more
