Meili is an imaginary giant panda with a special gift. Guided by a strange and powerful Buddhist monk, Meili learns to use the extraordinary gift she has inherited from her ancestors to understand and even influence the thoughts of others. The stories in this book tell of the unusual and fascinating lives of her ancestors, beginning with her great-great-grandmother Bao Bao and continuing through several generations of giant pandas. As the gift showed up generation after generation in Meili’s family tree, it changed as it adapted to those different personalities. When the gift eventually found its way to Meili, it allowed her to communicate with Wenling on a deep and meaningful level, changing Wenling’s life and helping her find her destiny.
