Grizzel bear is not in a good mood. He stomps on flowers, he grumbles, and he complains. He is full of anger. He bumps into Guru Walter who is sitting peacefully and enjoying a glorious day in the sun and the gentle breeze and Grizzel' s anger is not going to spoil his day. This story shows that anger does not have to be accepted. If we learn to reject it what remains is peace and happiness.
Peter Whitfield has been teaching courses in Philosophy for many years. His greatest claim to teach with any authority is that nothing he presents has any originality. Much is taken from ancient wisdom and teachings, which are found in the perennial philosophies or from other teachers. The stories that Peter writes are thousands of years old. The only possible claim to any inventiveness he makes is that these ancient ideas are as relevant today as they were when the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet wore purple robes and sandals. Peter has also been a publisher and a businessman and is a devoted father to five children. Nancy Bevington is an energetic, multifaceted visual artist. Her artistic career spans over three decades, working in painting, illustration and concept creation and execution. Picture books are one of her real passions. Nancy uses traditional media including gouache and watercolour, as well as photography and digital. She approaches every narrative with fun and sensitivity. Many books in her portfolio have been sold worldwide and nominated for awards.
