With stunning watercolors and text that resounds with universal truths, Caldecott Honoree Jon J Muth transforms a story by Tolstoy into a timeless fable for young readers.
Based on an ancient Buddhist legend, this Stillwater tale celebrates the fragile and sacred moments we all share with those we love.
Stillwater and his young nephew Koo return in a story of compassion and friendship that reaffirms the importance of our ties to one another.
From Caldecott Honoree Jon J Muth comes a story about sharing, another about patience, and a third about compassion.
It’s Halloween, and Addy, Michael, and Karl’s good friend Stillwater the panda has a special spooky surprise in store for them!
With graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon J Muth—and Stillwater the panda—present three ancient Zen tales.
