Overview:
Beloved friends Big Panda and Tiny Dragon return in this heartwarming two-book hardback collection from British author-illustrator James Norbury. Bringing together the bestselling Big Panda and Tiny Dragon and its sequel The Journey, this set pairs gentle, Buddhist-inspired wisdom with breathtaking illustrated artwork. Perfect for gifting or quiet reflection, the books explore friendship, courage and hope through the changing seasons and a shared journey beyond the familiar. A treasured collection for readers of every age.
About the Books:
Big Panda and Tiny Dragon introduced two unlikely companions whose gentle, sometimes silly conversations carry surprising depth. As the pair travel through the seasons, they get lost more than once, yet discover that the wrong path can lead to the most beautiful sights. Inspired by Norbury's volunteering with the Samaritans and his study of Buddhist philosophy, the book pairs short vignettes with brush-and-ink illustrations that invite readers to pause and find comfort in uncertainty. It grew from a loved Instagram account into a word-of-mouth bestseller. The Journey continues the story as Tiny Dragon, feeling quietly unsettled, is guided by Big Panda on an adventure beyond the safety of home. Together they cross mountains and unfamiliar lands, facing challenges that test their courage and deepen their friendship. The sequel builds on the same meditative tone as the original, exploring change, belonging and self-discovery through Norbury's calligraphic brushwork. Both books can be read cover to cover or dipped into whenever a moment of stillness is needed. Together, this two-book hardback set forms a complete, gift-ready introduction to one of the most talked-about illustrated series of recent years.
