The Cat Who Taught Zen

By: James Norbury

Narrated by: Christian Coulson

Warmly narrated by Christian Coulson with atmospheric music and sound design,this audiobook offers listeners a gentle and reflective listening experience. From the author and illustrator of the international bestseller Big Panda and Tiny Dragon comes a beautifully illustrated exploration into the journeys we take for self-discovery and the connections we make along the way.

In a distant city, an old cat considers himself as wise as can be, until he hears of an ancient pine far away, under the boughs of which infinite wisdom can be found. Thus, the Cat embarks on a journey deep into the forest to search for the tree. Along the way, he meets new friends—the Hare, the Magpie, the Wolf Cub, the Monkey, the Tortoise, and the Tiger—and comes across the energetic young Kitten. What wisdom does the Cat have to impart to his friends, and, perhaps more importantly, what does he still have to learn?

Inspired by Zen stories, The Cat Who Taught Zen has wisdom to offer all readers.

Beautiful stories

Confusion is often a sign you’re about to change is a powerful statement. This was such good storytelling.

Personally listened to this before sleeping and it was very nice. There are some instrumentals I had no idea about so that was a bit loud.
I appreciate the tone of the reader and the expression of each being in the story.
