Illustrated by
Naava.
Three panda siblings decide to leave the bamboo forest and move to the city where they imagine the food and leisure activities will be more interesting. They find jobs in the city but eventually return home when winter sets in. Solidly painted illustrations contrast the rich colors of the city with the bold black and white of the pandas, but a legend of how pandas got their coloring feels artificially inserted into the slight story.
