Zen Shorts, by Jon J. Muth tells the story of Stillwater the panda bear and the young friends he meets when he moves into a new neighborhood. There are three short stories inside the story that help to give wisdom to the young children he befriends so they each can overcome..or come to understand a situation more clearly.
In the Author's Note at the back of the book he writes, "zen shorts", are short meditations, or ideas to puzzle over, which hone our ability to act with intuition. Jon writes that, "they have no goal, but they often challenge us to reexamine our habits, desires, concepts, and fears."
For me, the simplicity of the stories are wonderful for children and adults, and who can not love a giant panda bear?
Hope you get a chance to enjoy this book.
Namaste.
