The Panda & The Planet

By Wilhelm C.K Diehl

Xi Wang loves the misty bamboo mountains of Sichuan. His days are filled with fresh bamboo, sparkling streams, playful butterflies, and the comforting sounds of the forest.

But when the bamboo suddenly dies, Xi Wang and the other pandas begin to starve. Grandmother Mei, Lian, Tao, and the people of their village climb into the mountains carrying food, water, blankets, and hope. Their kindness saves Xi Wang and helps the forest grow green again.

Years later, new dangers reach his home. A strange gray cloud covers the valley. A once-clear stream turns dark. Machines cut through the forest paths that animals need to survive. Xi Wang cannot protect the mountain alone-but he has already learned what courage, compassion, and a caring community can accomplish.

The Panda & The Planet is a beautifully illustrated environmental chapter book about friendship, conservation, teamwork, and the small choices that can grow into powerful change.

Perfect for young animal lovers, independent readers, families, and classrooms, this edition also includes giant panda facts, practical ways children can help keep air and water clean, and questions for further discussion.

One panda. One valley. One planet we all share.
