This is the uplifting, beautifully illustrated story of two beloved friends as they journey through the seasons of the year together, into the wild, exploring the thoughts and emotions, hardships and happiness that connect us all. Writer and artist James Norbury began illustrating the adventures of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, inspired by Buddhist philosophy and spirituality, to share the ideas that have helped him through the most difficult times, in the hope they can help others too.

A book that is frighteningly similar to [b:The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse 43708884 The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse Charlie Mackesy https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579017235l/43708884.SX50.jpg 68017220] by [a:Charlie Mackesy 3242801 Charlie Mackesy https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1564684605p2/3242801.jpg].Pros:Both are easy reads, full of inspirational quotes. In Norbury's case, the artwork is inspired by Buddhism and both encourage moments of reflection in our busy lives, wherever you choose to have them. You can read this alone or to a loved one, so it will appeal to all ages. The text is much clearer/more accessible to read, especially when not on paper.Cons:The similarities to [a:Charlie Mackesy 3242801 Charlie Mackesy https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1564684605p2/3242801.jpg]'s work may put others off, and due to it's length, paying the full price of £14.99 may put many off, considering it's done and dusted within thirty minutes.Like [a:Charlie Mackesy 3242801 Charlie Mackesy https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1564684605p2/3242801.jpg]'s, this book is one that can be treasured and picked up in times of need, again and again.
Cute little book of happiness.
I don't recommend getting the Kindle version because it doesn't work on the PaperWhite or Oasis. You'll need an iPad or laptop for reading because it shows 2 pages side by side.
