The Cat Who Taught Zen by James Norbury

The Cat Who Taught Zen by James Norbury

NATIONAL BESTSELLER!

From the author and illustrator of the international bestseller Big Panda and Tiny Dragon comes a beautifully illustrated animal fable exploring the journeys we take for self-discovery and the connections we make along the way.

In a distant city, an old cat considers himself as wise as can be, until he hears of an ancient pine far away, under the boughs of which infinite wisdom can be found. Thus, the Cat embarks on a spiritual journey deep into the forest to search for the tree. Along the way, he meets new friends--the Hare, the Magpie, the Wolf Cub, the Monkey, the Tortoise, and the Tiger--and comes across the energetic young Kitten. What wisdom does the Cat have to impart to his friends, and, perhaps more importantly, what does he still have to learn?

Inspired by Zen stories, with stunning illustrations and a gentle voice, The Cat Who Taught Zen has wisdom to offer all readers.

This timeless, illustrated fable offers profound lessons on:

• Finding Wisdom: Join the old Cat on his quest for an ancient pine tree and discover that the answers we seek are often found on the path, not at the destination.
• Unlikely Friendships: Meet a memorable cast of characters--from a wise Tortoise to a playful Kitten--each with something to teach and something to learn.
• Zen-Inspired Stories: Gentle, thoughtful parables that explore timeless questions about purpose, connection, and living a meaningful life.
• Stunning Illustrations: Beautiful, full-color artwork that brings the Cat's journey and the enchanting forest to life on every page.
