那些微小但重要的事 大熊猫与小小龙的相伴旅程

Big Panda and Tiny Dragon

James Norbury

为别人制造幸福，你会顺便找到自己的。

有时候，我们能做的，只是替人泡杯茶；

而对方需要的，也只是一杯茶。

一对大小旅伴，以天地为教室的人生体悟，

在你心累时，给你最刚好的安慰。

书籍简介

作者在一段忧郁的人生黑暗期，偶然在二手书店邂逅了一本充满东方哲思的书籍，他发现，领悟得越多，就越豁达自在，于是想用这份体悟来帮助更多身处相同境地的人，重迎曙光。他讶异于有如此多的孤独、焦虑与忧郁，他在社区发起互助团体，却因为疫情而喊停，他转移阵地至社群平台，透过创作来延续助人心愿，一场跨越国界的“大熊猫与小小龙”旅程于是展开。

人生有点难，对的旅伴让一路上的辛苦别有滋味

“哪一样比较重要，旅程或目的地？”大熊猫问。

“旅伴比较重要，”小小龙说。

在自己的人生里，无需与人比美，只需自己尽情绽放

“有时候我觉得自己不够好，”小小龙说。

“樱桃树不会拿自己去跟其他树比较，它只是尽情开花。”大熊猫说。

“要是遇到有人不喜欢我，或不喜欢我做的事，该怎么办？”小小龙问。

“走自己的路，失去那些人，总比失去自己强。”大熊猫说。

放手，或被拖着走

“叶子在凋落了，”小小龙说。

“别难过，秋天，是大自然在告诉你放手可以有多美。”大熊猫说。

A guiding light in the darker months, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon is the beautifully illustrated and mindful journey of two friends through the seasons, inspired by Buddhist philosophy

'Which is more important,' asked Big Panda, 'the journey or the destination?'

'The company,' said Tiny Dragon.

Friends Big Panda and Tiny Dragon journey through the seasons of the year together, day and night, in rain and in sun. Travelling through nature, they find hope and inspiration in the world around them, realising that even in the darkest of days, Spring will always return.

Feel the calming influence of Big Panda, who reminds us of the bigger picture while appreciating the simplicity of small moments.

Explore your surroundings with the inquisitive eye of Tiny Dragon, our friend who is big in heart if not in stature.

And on their journey through the ever-changing seasons, join these two friends as they learn how to live in the moment, be at peace with uncertainty, and find the strength to overcome life's obstacles, together.

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.

WORDS OF WISDOM: The seemingly simple, and often silly, conversations between Big Panda and Tiny Dragon reveal meaningful insights on friendship, inner wisdom, and self-acceptance.

INSPIRING IMAGES: Depicted in bold brush strokes reminiscent of calligraphy, big, fluffy Panda and tiny, wiry Dragon journey through rolling hills, wooded forests, and blooming meadows in more than 120 elegant black-and-white and full-color scenes.

FOR READERS OF ALL AGES: From youngsters at story time to new graduates with the world ahead of them to adults in moments of challenge or transition, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon offer comfort, inspiration, and a wry smile for every reader.

WORK OF ART: Featuring a beautiful cover and a collection of stunning illustrations, each one more beautiful than the next, every page in this book is worthy of framing.

HEARTFELT GIFT: Full of wisdom and touching humor, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon makes a thoughtful gift to be treasured.
