From Benjamin Hoff, the bestselling author of The Tao of Pooh, comes a delightful return to the Hundred Acre Wood where Taoist wisdom is revealed through the most unlikely of teachers: Piglet.
Why Piglet? you might ask. Why not the impulsive Tigger, the melancholy Eeyore, the intellectual Owl, or even the lovable Pooh himself? Because Piglet embodies something essential that the others overlook—the Te of the Small. This Chinese concept of Virtue celebrates the power found not in grand gestures or booming voices, but in quiet courage, gentle persistence, and the strength that comes from knowing one’s true nature.
Hoff weaves together A.A. Milne’s beloved characters with ancient Taoist principles, creating a book that’s both wonderfully entertaining and genuinely enlightening. Through Piglet’s adventures—his fears faced, his loyalty demonstrated, his small acts of bravery—we discover that being small doesn’t mean being insignificant. In fact, the smallest among us often possess the greatest wisdom.
Perfect for readers who loved The Tao of Pooh or anyone seeking philosophy wrapped in charm and humor, this book reminds us that true strength comes in many forms. Whether you’re browsing for yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift, The Te of Piglet offers the kind of gentle wisdom that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page—much like the salt air that hangs over Perkins Cove on a quiet morning.
Hoff's explanations of Taoism through Winnie-the-Pooh are both whimsical and profound.
A companion volume that is even better than its predecessor... [Hoff] has written a book that is both delightful and instructive, a perfect melding of ancient philosophy and modern storytelling.
Charming... Hoff uses the characters from Winnie-the-Pooh to explain the basic principles of Taoism.
