A free-spirited new student helps a perfectionist panda embrace his more spontaneous side in this charming classroom story.
Mao Mao strives for everything to be absolutely, 100%…PERFECT!
But when Olivia joins his class, Mao Mao realizes that not everyone is this way. Olivia is messy. And noisy. And clumsy.
So, Mao Mao decides to teach Olivia the art of how to be *PERFECT.* How hard could it be?
With speech balloons and kawaii-influenced illustrations by Laan Cham, this relatable picture book celebrates individuality and self-expression and invites little ones to redefine what it means to be “perfect.” It also champions embracing differences and learning from one another—an important lesson for any child starting school.
