Stillwater, a panda with a calm, Buddha-like demeanor (and appealingly chubby physique) moves into the neighborhood, bringing companionship and wisdom to two brothers and a sister. In translucent watercolor scenes, their friendship unfolds amid shared tea and cake, paper airplanes, and Stillwater's gentle retelling of three Zen tales. Not for Buddhists only, this beautifully written and illustrated story touches ever-so-lightly on universal themes such as forgiveness, acceptance, and generosity.
