Pete the Panda

By K.A. Mulenga

Pete the Panda lives a typical panda life – eating bamboo, climbing trees, sleeping and swimming. Unfortunately, his habitat is being decimated by people, and one day he goes to a bamboo patch that has been cut down. Since Pandas eat almost exclusively bamboo, this is serious indeed, but his friend Pat says to him, "Don't lose hope. You never know what tomorrow may bring". Indeed, tomorrow brings a bamboo patch that has not been cut down, and Pete and Pat have a great day eating bamboo, climbing trees, sleeping and swimming. The value in the story is that it teaches children both that human actions can affect the environment around them and that even when things seem gloomy, there is still hope. We never know what tomorrow may bring.

K.A. Mulenga

My name is Kalenga Augustine Mulenga aka K.A. Mulenga. My passion is writing. I started writing when I was 10 years old and my passion was reignited by my 11-year-old son. Writing runs in my blood as my late father was a journalist and the first black editor of the Zambia Daily Mail and my late brother was a poet. To date, I have published 21 children's books. They are available on various channels and also on my website. I love writing children’s books with a positive message and also making them laugh and be entertained. I am a prolific writer. I have completed my memoir ( Makeni Homeboys) and have a publisher agreement for my middle-grade novel which is due to be released later this year. I  have written 3 short stories and published occasional blogs. My short story, Striving To Be Number One won a Creative Writing Contest in April 2021. Three of my books, Donk and the Stubborn Donkeys, Chuck the Cheetah, and Will and His Best Friend Whale have been # 1  Bestsellers in different categories.
