About the Books
James Norbury's Big Panda and Tiny Dragon series began as an Instagram project before growing into a beloved illustrated book series published by Michael Joseph. The first title, Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, introduces the unlikely pair as they travel through rolling hills, wooded forests, and blooming meadows, learning to find hope even on the hardest days. Its sequel, The Journey: A Big Panda and Tiny Dragon Adventure, sends the duo further afield on a new quest, deepening the themes of acceptance, courage, and companionship that made the original a word-of-mouth favorite. The final title, Big Panda's Little Book of Calm, steps away from narrative and instead offers Big Panda as a gentle guide, sharing bite-sized reflections designed to help readers slow down and breathe amid busy, noisy, overwhelming days. Across all three books, Norbury's brushwork style, inspired by calligraphy and East Asian art, pairs spare, thoughtful text with expressive black-and-white and full-color illustrations. Drawing loosely on Buddhist philosophy and his own experience supporting people through difficult times, Norbury explores universal feelings of uncertainty, loss, hope, and belonging without ever feeling heavy-handed. Together, the trilogy forms a satisfying arc: an introduction, an adventure, and a moment of stillness, making this matching hardback set a cohesive and thoughtful way to experience Norbury's gentle, illustrated world in one collection.
