Publisher's Note When Koo, his haiku-speaking nephew arrives for the summer, Stillwater is excited about the adventures they will have, but when a grouchy neighbor tries to put the kibosh on their fun, Stillwater recruits Koo and his friends to help change her very negative disposition, in the companion title to Zen Shorts.
Industry Reviews "From a religious tradition that makes no theological demands and that will be unfamiliar to most readers, Stillwater offers a model of pure saintliness, and children will instantly respond to him." (11/19/2007)
"The pleasure, as always, is with Muth's irresistible storytelling, both visual and textual...The story's theme of intergenerational kindness is tender, and the text is infused with bits of haiku, wordplay and small lessons that charmingly avoid didacticism. A welcome return." (01/01/2008)
