Anju et Selma #1

Two young kids dash along an ancient stone walkway — unmistakably the Great Wall of China — each clutching an adorable panda cub, with more figures visible further along the path and rolling hills stretching into the distance behind them. Sandrine Bonini and Pat Ryu launch this Franco-Belgian all-ages series with a premise brimming with adventure and charm: *Les Pandas de Chengdu* promises friendship, far-flung travel, and plenty of black-and-white furriness. Published in 2013 by Éditions Philippe Picquier's jeunesse imprint, it's a delightful starting point for young readers ready to explore the world.
