Description
Anzu the kaiju loves to tend to his bonsai.
Whenever he feels overwhelmed or unsettled, it helps him pause and reminds him to just . . . breathe.
One day, when Anzu hears crying in the distance, hes eager to help! The flower-power that makes his bonsai bloom has a way of making others smile.
But when Anzus flowers seem to lose their power, hurting more than they help, hes not sure where to turnuntil he remembers some valuable lessons he learned from his bonsai tree.
In Anzu the Great Listener, creator and Walt Disney Studios animator Benson Shum illustrates the importance of patience, empathy, and above all, taking the time to listen.
