In John J. Muth's Caldecott Honor Book, Zen Shorts, Stillwater the giant panda tells stories about peace and love, about taking each moment as it comes and not letting bad luck or petty insults get you down. He teaches that adversity has a way of turning around when you are tranquil, attentive, and aware of your surroundings. This 6" plush Stillwater serves as a reminder to children and adults to keep these thoughts with them as they go through their busy days.
