The real-life story of Ming, the first-ever Giant Panda to be brought from China to London Zoo
in 1938.

millions of people, including Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen, and an inspiration
to children everywhere.
"A large format hardback bedtime story for 3+ year olds, with glorious illustrations by Yu Rong, Ming's life shines with themes of resilience, peace and deep cultural connection. Highly recommended."
* School Reading List *"This is an interesting and sensitive picture book which may prompt conversations about pandas, endangered species, the ethics of keeping animals in captivity and the work zoos do to promote conservation…The illustrations are excellent, not only evoking the ever-appealing pandas themselves but also the delicacy and beauty of the Chinese rural landscape in contrast to wartime London."
