Two red pandas, Popo and Ketu. One wants to explore and the other wants to follow the rules. Warned by their mother to never climb down to the mountain they make a promise to always look after each other. But what happens when Ketu’s longing for adventure puts Popo in a tricky situation. Whether she should do as she’s told and let her sister go down the mountain alone or keep the promise she made to her mother. This book teaches that there isn’t always a definite right or wrong and that the bond between siblings is one that is precious and sometimes difficult. I love this book with its rhymes and beautiful illustrations that bring so much joy. It has such a wholesome message that looking out for and supporting each other, is just as important as any other promises.
