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. yeah, it definitely didn't compare to the Little Prince. this one is very much simpler, while the little prince had an actual plot & world building & reasons behind actions or dialogues, which usually regardless of age, majority of adults can enjoy it too. but this one is contained of a journey (the reasons or destinations, were not quite mentioned) with small inspiring quotes. same philosophy. a reminder. Misli, kojih je ova knjiga puna, trebalo bi uokviriti i staviti na vidljiva mjesta po prostorijama u kojima redovito boravimo. Bio bi to divan, oku i duši, ugodan ukras. As with Milne's work, Norbury also banks on illustrations getting the point across and getting people interested (he even mentions it in his foreword). For me, it's the art that gives the musings that little extra boost. I mean, look at these two cuties:

Big Panda and Tiny Dragon will be published in the UK by Penguin Michael Joseph on 16 September. It features two friends, who often find themselves lost, but discover beautiful sights that they never would have found if they had gone the right way. Together, they overcome life’s obstacles. James Norbury, pisac i likovni umjetnik je na vrlo jednostavan, lijep, interesantan, kreativan i slikovit način uspio prikazati vrlo složene, tužne, teške, u biti životne situacije koje uz njega sagledavamo s osmijehom na licu. Misli su to koje su njemu pomogle tijekom najtežeg razdoblja života gdje svakako pomažu ilustracije, koje su stvarno lijepo nježne, jednostavnih, ali jako dojmljivih crteža.
And yes, I got a signed special edition as you can see. Couldn't resist. Especially since it helps a relatively unknown artist with great talent. James has a way to speak to your soul. This book is nothing short of comforting and heartwarming' VEX KING The charming, illustrated story of two friends, who travel through the seasons sharing the lessons they learn on their way; the perfect gift to uplift and inspire your loved ones Friends Big Panda and Tiny Dragon journey through the seasons of the year together, day and night, in rain and in sun.

The book tells of Giant Panda and his friend, Little Dragon. They are a bit like Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet if you will (just not by their character). They go on adventures together. Or they are just trying to get from A to B. The problem is that they often make mistakes and thus get lost. But don't we all? They sometimes need help or think of life in general and how to be happy, how to make it better. As we all should. Their musings are life-affirming and giving solace.

live in the moment- enjoy the small beautiful things- relax- don't give up- even the smallest steps are better than none- sometimes you need to have a break, so try again tomorrow For almost two years, he spoke to callers to the Samaritans about everything from their depression to thoughts of suicide. “That’s one of the reasons I started doing the drawings. That’s perhaps why my pictures connect with people. I understand sadness.” Knjiga je ovo koju ću rado poklanjati, prvo sebi (ovaj primjerak iz bibliobusa Gradske knjižnice Rijeka mi je „slučajno“ uletio), a onda i dragim ljudima jer nije potrebno puno vremana za uživati u njoj. Otvoriti jednu stranicu dnevno, bit će sasvim dovoljno za uljepšati si dan, potaknuti se, sagledati situacije na drugačiji način, usporiti i uživati u životu. The book is divided into 5 chapters, by the way: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring again (the illustrations above show one for each season). While the drawings have the charm of Winnie-the-Pooh, the captions have the depth of ancient proverbs: “‘What if I meet people who don’t like me or the things I do?’ asked Tiny Dragon. ‘You must walk your own path,’ said Big Panda. ‘Better to lose them than lose yourself.’”
