This is the story of Giant, a panda bear who has lost contact with his family. Giant is lounging in the majestic Sichuan forest, chewing on his bamboo shoots. Suddenly, a forest fire starts because people from the city are clear-burning the forest for development!

Giant seeks help and tries to extinguish the fire, but everything seems lost. It will only be by the heroic sacrifices of Giant and his friends—including a wise bamboo tree and the nearby villagers—that the forest and its inhabitants are saved.

Featuring charming illustrations from talented Vietnamese artist Xuan Loc Xuan, Giant: A Panda of the Enchanted Forest is an invitation for kids to get in touch with nature and respect unfamiliar animals and trees at risk of extinction.

The giant panda is one of the species classified as “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The continuous uprise of development among panda natural habitats creates jeopardizing conditions for this beautiful black and white creature. Teaching children about this issue, in a gentle yet impactful way, is a small step toward a better future for the giant panda.

Giant: A Panda of the Enchanted Forest addresses the issue of deforestation and its impact on animals through a touching and uplifting bedtime story for young kids.
