Meet Stillwater, a GIANT, and very zen, panda bear in this
captivating picture book based on a Buddhist legend. Addy has moved
to a new neighborhood with her beloved kitten, Trumpet. They are
best friends, and inseparable. But when Trumpet is hit by a car,
Addy seeks her wise friend, Stillwater. She is sure he will know
how to bring Trumpet back to life. Stillwater tells Addy she will
need to find a special medicine. To do this, she must go to
everyone in the neighborhood and collect a cup of sugar. But there
is one condition: it can only come from the home of someone who has
never been touched by loss. Addy goes from house to house. And when
she returns home, Stillwater asks for her cup of sugar. But, of
course, she has none. For there isn't a person who has not felt the
pain of loss. Tuck into a reassuring story of consolation and
healing, infused with light and compassion, celebrating the moments
we all share with those we love. Stillwater, the beloved Zen panda,
