![]() Zen Ties continues the Buddhist tradition, this time with a visit from Stillwater’s nephew Koo (as in, “Hi, Koo”) who speaks in haikus. I don’t know if very small children will understand all the lessons, but the pace, tone, and illustrations still make for a nice calming story when trying to bring little ones down from the rafters. ![]() It’s an incredibly soothing book about forgiveness, luck, and hospitality. I love Stillwater the Panda and the Buddhist stories he tells three young siblings. Zen Shorts was a Caldecott Honor Book in 2006 (I would have voted for it to win over The Hello, Goodbye Window but that’s another story). I’ve been battling a migraine today, so I thought I would write about two very tranquil books that I think are fantastic. ![]()
