A magical and uplifting story about acceptance and belonging from CBeebies presenter Ben Cajee

In a world where you're either a Panda or a Badger, Pablo - a Panda-Badger - breaks all the rules. However, being different doesn't make Pablo feel lucky - it just makes him feel sad. One day, there's a glow in the distance - a glow that changes everything - and soon Pablo has a chance to save the day in a way that neither a Badger nor a Panda could . . .

This debut story from CBeebies presenter Ben Cajee is an affirming and empowering tale about appreciating your own uniqueness and the joy that comes from embracing diversity of all kinds.

"A beautiful picture book sharing messages of inclusion, community and belonging . . . perfect as a classroom read-aloud." - Teach Primary
