Inhaltsangabe

When Ping Ping spends all his money during one afternoon with his friends, the young panda's father refuses to give him any more. "When I gave you money for the summer I told you it was your choice how you spent it." When Ping Ping's friends hear about their friend's money problems, they suggest that if Ping Ping's father really loved him, he would give him more money. The rest of the story is about how taking personal responsibility can provide more choices in your life, even if it doesn't always seem like it at the time. At its core, Ping Ping Panda is a story of a father's love…and how it sometimes can be misunderstood. Children's author Bernadette Shih and novelist Stephen Smoke have collaborated with well-known illustrator Diane Lucas to create a timely parable that is as fun to read as it is enlightening.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Bernadette Shih Bernadette Shih was born in China and emigrated to the United States as a young woman. She continued her education in the U.S., gaining a BA in East Asian Studies from the University of Washington and an MA in Library and Information Science on a Harvard University Internship Program. Ping Ping Panda: The Power of Personal Responsibility is the sequel to Bernadette's extremely successful children’s book Ling Ling: The Most Beautiful Giant Panda in the World. Bernadette regularly reads this touching children's story to young people in schools and libraries throughout Southern California, and looks forward to doing the same with Ping Ping Panda. She is also the author Good Friends; Becoming American; Song of Life; Love: Leap of the Heart and a Sweet Tear; and Mao–A Young Man from the Yangtze Valley. Stephen Smoke Stephen Smoke is the author of 20 novels, including Black Butterfly, Pacific Coast Highway, Pacific Blues, Trick of the Light, The Prince of Palos Verdes, and Cathedral of the Senses under his own and other names. He has also written ten non-fiction books and one children's book. Stephen has written and directed feature films, including “Street Crimes” (starring Dennis Farina) and “Final Impact,” and has written screenplays for other films, including “Magic Kid.” All of Stephen’s HarperCollins novels–and most of the rest of his novels–have been optioned for film, including Trick of the Light (published by Beyond Words–publisher of The Secret), which was optioned by Hemdale (winner of two Academy Awards for Best Picture: “Platoon” and “The Last Emperor of China.”) In 2011 Stephen published Cathedral of the Senses, which was the first novel with its own original embedded music soundtrack. All the songs were written by Stephen and recorded mainly by musicians and singers living in Sedona. The songs are available for download from most popular music sites. With the publication of Cathedral of the Senses, Trick of the Light, and I, Walt Whitman in softcover, eBook, and enhanced multimedia formats (for the iPad), Stephen has the unique distinction of being a novelist with three multimedia eBooks, each containing its own embedded soundtrack. Stephen founded and published Mystery Magazine, and published the first online mystery magazine (Hamilton Caine’s Mystery Digest). Stephen is the author of the Bill of Responsibilities series and the Teen Bill of Responsibilities Course, which is taught in several Southern California schools.
