Big Panda and Tiny Dragon – James Norbury
4****
”Which is more important,” asked Big Panda, “the journey or the destination?”
“The company,” said Tiny Dragon
And so, two unlikely friends set off on a journey of discovery. They have no specific plan and go where life leads them over the course of four seasons. Sometimes they are certain they are lost, but then they realize that they might not have had a particular experience or seen a certain sight if they hadn’t been ‘lost.’ They enjoy the beauty of nature and open their minds to new experiences. They learn to rely on each other. At times the journey is difficult – they are cold or wet or hungry. They ponder some serious philosophical questions, and carefully observe how others endure. “Even a damaged tree can produce beautiful blossoms.”
The story is told through Norbury’s wonderful drawings and the pair’s quiet conversations. There were times when I just sat and looked at one of those drawings and let my mind take me where it wanted. How refreshing!
”Are we nearly there yet?” asked Tiny Dragon.
Big Panda smiled. “I hope not.”
