"I read The Snow Leopard's New Friend with my nieces and nephews. This is the first time the kids have seen all of the Tibetan Plateau animals represented in one book. As Tibetan children of refugees born and raised in the US, a connection to the Tibetan landscape can seem far removed. The Snow Leopard's New Friend brought the connection to Tibet closer for my kids. The Tibetan landscape, its flora, fauna, people, all came alive for the kids through these pages and I am very grateful. Now the kids remember the Tibetan animals through the book's stories and they make me read and reread stories again and again." -Tsechu Dolma, Tibetan environmental activist "My son was very happy to see so many Tibetan animal pictures in the book. He is just 6 years old, so he can't read it properly, but his grandfather who is 83 years old helped him by explaining how those animals sound and what they eat and so on.
Not only my son, both my parents also loved the book. Thank you so much!" - Dechen Palmo, environment researcher at TPI, Dharamsala [reading the Tibetan translation of The Snow Leopard's New Friend, published by the LTWA in India. Reading both the English edition and the Tibetan edition can facilitate cross-language connections for kids.].
