James Norbury, author-illustrator of the Sunday Times bestseller Big Panda and Tiny Dragon, has been interviewed by Dr Rangan Chatterjee on BBC Radio 2’s Good Morning Sunday.

In the interview, James opens up about the inspirations behind his wellbeing book and his approach to life: from his introduction to Buddhism and spitiruality, to the creation of his own adorable characters and uplifting drawings; from his personal struggles, to finding peace in nature.

You can listen to the full interview here, beginning around 1:22:00.

Combining “the wit and wisdom of Panda, and the curious concerns of a dragon called Tiny,” Big Panda and Tiny Dragon is out now. Grab your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
