Complete tangent here. My favorite book to read my kids is Zen Shorts by Jon J Muth.

It features a panda named Stillwater who tells this story (among others) in it.



I would highly recommend "The Parent's Tao Te Ching" by William Martin.

It's a retelling of the Tao Te Ching into plain English, using parent/child relationships to make the points.

I recommend this both to parents, and to children. Which is all of us. We never stop being children of our parents.

I don't have children, nor do I plan to, yet this is one of the most powerful books I've read.
