About this listen

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

This Caldecott Honor Book presents wondrous Zen tales to light up your life....

When a giant panda named Stillwater moves into Michael, Addy, and Karl's neighborhood, he tells them the most amazing stories!

To Addy, he tells a tale of a poor man who gives gifts to a robber. To Michael, he tells of a farmer who learns not to judge luck. And to Karl, he tells the tale of a monk who continues to carry the weight of a burden long past.

Jon J Muth—and Stillwater the bear—imaginatively present three classic Zen stories that abound with enlightenment and love.
