A true story about the first panda to live in the United States of American and the woman who made it happen. Illustrations by Ashley Masloff and story by E. B. Masloff
Period Photography by Teen Becksted
Teen Becksted was one of only a few who ever met Ruth Harkness. These are all of photos in this historical story. In her time she would transform the world of hunting animals for sport, to a new awareness of living creatures alive in zoos. Inside this story you will learn a little about pandas and their habitat as it was for a little panda called Su Lin, and you will also learn what it was like to be Su Lin when pandas had never been seen before. We welcome you to enjoy these precious images, and remember a time when loving pandas was all about, “The Great American Adventure!”
