The Legend of The Panda (English
book)
-
retold by Linda Granfield
- illustrated by
Song Nan Zhang
Many years ago, in
the Wolong Valley in China, where pandas still live
today, a young shepherd girl faced terrible danger and
saved the life of a snowy white panda cub. This begins
the tale of how the panda got its black-and-white coat.
In retelling this
legend, renowned children's historian Linda Granfield
provides fascinating facts on panda and the efforts made
by the World Wildlife Fund and others to combat the very
real possibility of extinction.
The story is
enriched by award-winning artist Song Nan Zhang's
hauntingly beautiful illustrations. Inspired by his own
travels along the Silk Road, Song Nan has captured the
breathtaking vistas that are the home of these endangered
creatures.
