BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
When Panda and Red Panda sit down to read about pandas, Red is hurt because nowhere in the book does it talk about her - a red panda! She decides to write her own book but throws it away when she feels inadequate. Some other pandas - red and others - find the book and encourage Red to keep writing so that they can see themselves in a book and so that others unlike them can learn something new.
I see what you did there, Greanias! Bravo! Red Panda does deserve to see herself in a panda book. All of the pandas are adorable and the message is super simple and meaningful.
