Read this book in approximately 20 minutes because it's short (most of the pages are illustrations with one sentence). If you ever find yourself feeling lost in life, definitely borrow this from your local library or buy it from the bookstore. It's beautiful. 5 Stars. more
Dit boek is een pleister voor de ziel. . more
این کتاب پر از انرژی مثبته و حس خوبه خیلی پیشنهاد می کنم حتما بخونیدش توی این روزهای سخت ایران بنظرم نیازه خواندن این گونه کتاب ها برای فرار از واقعیت و دنیای بی رحم پاینده ایران زمستان سال ۲۵۸۱ تهران. more
کتابی دربارهی تغییر، که داستانش با تغییر آغاز میشه و با تغییر هم خاتمه پیدا میکنه…کتاب با زبان سادهی خود از مفاهیم مهم دیگری همچون «پذیرش» هم صحبت میکنه و مخاطب رو با دو شخصیت اصلی داستان در سفر قهرمانانشون همراه میکنه. more
This is the cutest little book. The illustrations are so well done. Tiny Dragon did look a bit creepy. Overall it’s a cute, fun, quick read. It was a little emotional for me too. more
The original Big Panda & Tiny Dragon was a 5⭐ book for me and I was delighted to see a follow-up. While this is a quick and breezy read, it's one you will want to slowly savour while thinking about your own life. Heartfelt, charming and reflective, it also covers themes that are both timeless and relevant. I loved the illustrations and the author's reasoning behind how he approached the artwork, a lot of which mirror what the titular characters (and reader) are going through. Highly recommend this uplifting and inspiring book to everyone, especially if you are in a rut or feeling stagnant and lost. more
Много харесах първата книга за пандата и дракона на Джеймс Норбъри, но в тази направо се влюбих. Мисля, че бих я чела доста пъти в живота си. Носи ми едно спокойствие и увереност, че каквото и да се случи има надежда и светлина, че промяната макар и страшна води до добро. Не съм човек, който прави йога и медитира, но по някакъв начин за мен книгата е форма на медитация и прочита и ми носи спокойствие. . more
Οι δυο φίλοι, παίρνουν καλά στο ναό ψηλά στο βουνό, όμως σαν κάτι να λείπει. Αποφασίζουν λοιπόν να κάνουν ένα ταξίδι, ένα ταξίδι στο άγνωστο, σε μέρη που δεν γνωρίζουν. Αντιμετωπίζουν δυσκολίες, έρχονται αντιμέτωποι με τη φύση, τις καιρικές συνθήκες κι ενώ ο μικρός δράκος νιώθει τόσο μελαγχολικά, έχει δίπλα του το Πάντα που το λέει αυτό ακριβώς που χρειάζεται να ακούσει. Ο James Norbury μεσα από τα μάτια των δύο ηρώων του και την εκπληκτική εικονογράφηση, δίνει σε όλους μας να καταλάβουμε ότι οι δυσκολίες είναι μέρος της ζωής μας, όπως και το καινούριο, το διαφορετικό δεν πρέπει να μας φοβίζει. Απλές αλήθειες, που νομίζω έχουμε αρχίσει να ξεχνάμε. more
Малко са тези 5 звезди ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️Обичам ги тези двамата и обичам факта колко много ми помогнаха и знам, че и за в бъдеще ще ми помагат 🐼🐲. more
the cutest and easiest read, guided by such inspiring artwork. if you ever find yourself questioning the purposes of your journey and if the current turmoil will be worth the outcome definitely pick this up. it’s like a cup of tea and a biscuit in a book which fills your heart with words of wisdom from a panda bear and his dragon best friend. beautiful little book both artistically and creatively with a beautiful perspective. more
Even onthaasten. Prachtig. Hartverwarmend. Een pareltje. more
Δείτε επίσης και στο Chill and readΓνωρίσαμε και αγαπήσαμε «Το Μεγάλο Πάντα και το Μικρό Δράκο» μέσα από το πρώτο βιβλίο που κυκλοφόρησε πέρυσι το Νοέμβριο και έγινε κομμάτι της καθημερινότητάς μας. Ένα από τα ελάχιστα βιβλία που υπάρχουν στο τραπεζάκι του σαλονιού μου και αυτό που ξεφυλλίζουμε πότε εγώ και πότε η κόρη μου. Όταν λοιπόν είδαμε ότι θα υπάρξει και συνέχεια, ενθουσιαστήκαμε. Ο ενθουσιασμός μας παρέμεινε αναλλοίωτος παίρνοντας στα χέρια μας αυτό το δεύτερο βιβλίο, που το διαβάζαμε λίγο λίγο για να το ευχαριστηθούμε. Και το χαρήκαμε εξίσου με το πρώτο βιβλίο. more
This is the perfect book if you are having a bit of self doubt or wondering where you are heading in life. James Norbury has used Buddhist philosophies as Big Panda guides Tiny Dragon through some of life's trying moments. Having a friend by your side makes change just that little bit easier. My granddaughter grabbed this book and read it as soon as it arrived. She loved the enchanting story about Panda and his best friend Dragon. more
این سومین کتابیه که با این سبک میخونم. نقاشیهای کتاب خیلی قشنگ بود و اژدهای کوچک خیلی بانمک نقاشی شده. داستانش خیلب سادهتر از بقیه داستانهای این سبک بود اما هماهنگیش با نقاشیها قشنگش کرده بود. بعد ار توضیحات نویسنده در انتهاب کتاب درباره نقاشیها، برگشتم و دوباره نقاشیها رو با دقت بیشتر دیدم و لذت بردم. more
Prachtig boek met een waardevolle boodschap en prachtige illustraties. “En als je jezelf vergeet, kijk dan gewoon naar de sterren aan de hemel, of luister naar de dennenbomen die wuiven in de avondbries. Zij doen wat de natuur bedoeld heeft… in dit moment. ”“Ik ben gaan inzien dat het niet altijd de situatie is die me ongelukkig maakt, maar de manier waarop ik ernaar kijk. Hoe minder ik probeer de wereld naar mijn hand te zetten, hoe vrijer ik ben om die in al haar ongetemde pracht te zien ontvouwen. more
Se cercate un libro per bambini (e anche per adulti) che sia capace di insegnare l'importanza del cambiamento e come affrontare la paura di esso sicuramente vi consiglierei questo libro. Quest'anno ho dato molto spazio alle letture per bambini e ho notato che non tutti i libri per bambini vanno bene per i bambini e in questo caso il titolo che mi viene in mente subito è questo Milena insegnami la felicità che prova a trattare moltissimi temi importanti (anche delicati) rendendoli "a misura di bambino" ma che fallisce su ogni fronte. Non ho nulla contro l'autrice e men che meno contro il suo libro, di cui ho già parlato qui ma ci tengo a sottolineare che i libri per bambini devono comunque essere adeguatamente scelti dagli adulti e gli adulti non dovrebbero buttarsi sul primo libro trovato online o nel reparto bambini in libreria. more
Wow, what a beautiful book. I enjoyed this more than the original Big Panda & Tiny Dragon book, maybe because there was more to the story. The drawings are gorgeous and so is the story itself. "Problems should not stop us," said Big Panda. "They are simply nature's way of letting us know we need to explore a different path. more
اژدهای کوچک گفت: حس میکنم یکم شبیه این فنجون هستم. دوران سختی رو گذروندم و حس میکنم آسیب دیدم. او فنجانش را به سمت ماه گرفت و گفت : ولی خب نور از همین ترک های کوچک رد میشه. پ. ن: وقتی خوندمش که بهش احتیاج داشتم، قلبم یکم آروم گرفت. more
Diese mit viel Liebe gestaltete Graphic Novel verbindet verschiedene vor allem buddhistische Weisheiten in einer wunderschönen Geschichte. Die Weisheiten folgen zwar Schlag auf Schlag, bzw. Seite auf Seite, aber die Einbettung in eine kleine Geschichte, hilft Lesenden sich die Weisheiten besser einzuprägen und Inspiration für das eigene Leben mitzunehmen. Die Bilder sind wunderschön. Ein Wechselspiel aus bunten sowie schwarz-weiss Bildern, Landschaftsmalereien und einfachen Skizzen kitzeln die Inspiration und sind ein wahrer Augenschmaus. more
پایان: ۱۴۰۱/۸/۲۴فقط جملات قشنگ داشت که باحال کنار هم قرار دادن. داستانپردازی خوبی نداشت، بعضی از جملاتش هم اگه یکم با دنیای واقعی بخوایم مقایسه کنیم اصلا بدرد نمیخوره. more
Veliki Panda i Sićušni Zmaj svojim su jednostavnim i iskrenim porukama o prijateljstvu, životu i svijetu oko sebe osvojili srca milijuna čitatelja i Instagram pratitelja. I dok je njihova prva knjiga bila zbirka inspirativnih i utješnih misli, ne osobito međusobno povezanih, u drugoj nam knjizi ova dvojica junaka pričaju svoju priču - o jednom putovanju i životnim promjenama koje im je to putovanje donijelo. Počevši osjećati neku neodređenu ustajalost, melankoliju i želju za promjenom, Sićušni Zmaj o tome se povjeri svojem najboljem prijatelju Velikom Pandi, koji, u želji da mu pomogne, svog malog prijatelja povede na put. Prvotno uzbuđenje zbog putovanja vrlo brzo naruše brojne poteškoće koje dvojicu prijatelja na tom putovanju snađu, a zbog kojih se Sićušni Zmaj počne osjećati još gore nego do tada, i počne žaliti što je ih je uopće primorao da krenu na taj put i ostave sigurnost i poznatost svog doma za sobom. Veliki Panda tu je da ga tješi i skrene mu misli na pozitivne strane svakog događaja koji ih zadesi, bodreći Sićušnog Zmaja i smirujući ga kad ga brige počnu previše moriti. more
»Schwierigkeiten sollten uns von nichts abhalten«, sagte Großer Panda. »Die Natur sagt uns damit nur, dass wir einen anderen Weg finden müssen. « 🐼🐉Das war eine ganz wundervolle Fortsetzung. 💕 Während Band 1 eine thematische Sammlung aus Dialogen zwischen Großer Panda und Kleiner Drache war, erzählt „Die Reise“ eine richtige Geschichte. Es geht vor allem um die Notwendigkeit von Veränderungen. more
خود کتاب اصلی یعنی "پاندای بزرگ و اژدهای کوچک" رو بیشتر دوست داشتم. محتوای این جلد هم قشنگ بود و نقاشی هاش حتی قشنگتر :'). more
Such a lovely book. Tiny Dragon started stressing me out but he learned the meaning of life so all was well. ‘I don’t think the world will ever be quite the way I want to be,’ said Tiny Dragon, ‘and some things I can never change. But I think maybe I have changed, so that those things that I couldn’t accept before - I am starting to be OK with. ’. more
The Journey: Big Panda and Tiny Dragon is a charming book written and illustrated by the talented artist James Norbury. It's the sequel to the international bestseller Big Panda and Tiny Dragon published in 2021, and while I've only read a sample from that book (freely available on the publisher's website), I was easily able to slide in with the characters as they embarked on their journey without the feeling I'd missed an important backstory. A seemingly simple tale, our two protagonists, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon - delightfully depicted on the cover - embark on an adventure together, but things don't go to plan. As they encounter set backs and face difficult and challenging situations, Big Panda shares his wisdom with Tiny Dragon and the attentive reader:'Problems should not stop us,' said Big Panda. 'They are simply nature's way of letting us know we need to explore a different path. more
Mais uma aventura inspiracional do Grande Panda e do Pequeno Dragão repleta de ensinamentos e conselhos para a vida. As ilustrações são lindíssimas e dão um toque super ternurento ao livro. more
