Zen Shorts by Jonj Muth

Zen Shorts by Jonj Muth

Stillwater, the beloved Zen panda, now in his own Apple TV+ original series!

Jon J Muth, author of the best-selling book, The Three Questions, has crafted another profound and winning picture book.

"Michael," said Karl. "There's a really big bear in the backyard." This is how three children meet Stillwater, a giant panda who moves into the neighborhood and tells amazing tales. To Addy he tells a story about the value of material goods. To Michael he pushes the boundaries of good and bad. And to Karl he demonstrates what it means to hold on to frustration. With graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth -- and Stillwater the bear -- present three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch.

JON J MUTH has written and illustrated a number of critically praised image books, including Zen Shorts, which received a Caldecott Honor and was described by Kirkus as as flawless a picture as can be, and The Three Questions, which was described by the New York Times Book Review as quietly life-changing. Zen Ties, his most recent book, was released this spring and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. With his wife and four children, he resides in New York State. JOHN KURAMOTO has contributed text to a number of comic books and graphic novels, including The Crow. He resides in the state of New York.
