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.
