How This Book Got Red

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In this clever picture book tale about the power of representation, a red panda decides to write her own story when she realises that none of the other panda books include pandas that look like her.

None of the panda books are ever about red pandas! Red wants to change that.

When Red discovers a new book about pandas, she can't wait to read it! Except it's about only one kind of panda, and red pandas are completely left out. Red never gets to read stories about pandas like herself! So she decides to take matters into her own paws and write her own book.

But when Red looks around, it seems like the only kind of pandas the world sees are the black and white kind. Will anyone want to read about red pandas? It's up to Red to finish her story and find out...
