Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas

Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas is a delightful Chinese New Year retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, set in a bustling contemporary Chinatown where young Goldy is sent to deliver turnip cakes to her panda neighbors. When she finds no one home, she can't resist sampling their food and trying out their chairs and beds, leading to a heartwarming lesson about friendship and making amends. This book is a wonderful choice for students because it introduces a beloved holiday tradition, reimagines a classic tale through a new cultural lens, and models the value of kindness and apology.
