The Cat Who Taught Zen
From the bestselling author of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, a new adventure featuring a wise cat, a curious kitten, and the Zen wisdom they uncover on their journey together.
This is the tale of a cat wise in the ways of zen who hears of a solitary ancient pine, deep in a maple forest, under which infinite wisdom may be found.

Each has stories to tell and lessons to share.
But after a surprise encounter with a playful kitten, the cat questions everything...
