Purchase options and add-ons.

The beautifully illustrated second adventure from cherished friends and Sunday Times bestsellers BIG PANDA AND TINY DRAGON 'James has a way to speak to your soul. This book is nothing short of comforting and heartwarming' VEX KING 'While the drawings have the charm of Winnie-the-Pooh, the captions have the depth of ancient proverbs' GUARDIAN 'A beautifully illustrated book which draws on tender moments. Exquisite' DR RANGAN CHATTERJEE __________ 'We shall go on a journey, across the river . . .' Join Big Panda and Tiny Dragon as they set off on an extraordinary adventure in this companion to the global bestselling phenomenon Big Panda and Tiny Dragon. Although content in their temple high up in the mountains, Tiny Dragon realises that something feels incomplete. So it is that they decide to make a journey together, to new and distant lands. As they encounter dangers and challenges, they learn that everything they need is already inside them and that change, though sometimes scary, is possible and, with patience, can lead to better things. 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. __________ 'If we have to be lost,' said Big Panda, 'I am glad it is with you . . .'

• Review: The Journey by James Norbury

' Problems should not stop us ,' said Big Panda. ' They are simply nature's way of letting us know we need to explore a different path .' Page 22

' But if making the change was easy, it probably wouldn't make very much difference. Great change requires great effort .' Pages 52-53

' This raft is a little like us ,' said Big Panda. ' Where it's been doesn't have to determine where it's going .' Page 60

' I still feel some sadness at the loss of my friends, my home and, of course, my tea set, but I think maybe I am learning to be more accepting of things .' Page 141

It is spring by the time they emerge - they'd gotten lost in the swirling mists and had fallen asleep under glittering stars. While they sit watching a warm sun rise, it dawns on them both that a new day means a new beginning, and another magnificent adventure awaits . . . Two beloved friends, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon journey through the seasons of the year together. On their way into the wild they often find themselves lost, and while not knowing where they are, they discover many beautiful sights they'd never have found if they'd gone the right way. Together they 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.

While the drawings have the charm of Winnie-the-Pooh, the captions have the depth of ancient proverbs ― Guardian
