A magical and uplifting story about acceptance and belonging from CBeebies presenter Ben Cajee
In a world where you're either a Panda or a Badger, Pablo - a Panda-Badger - breaks all the rules. However, being different doesn't make Pablo feel lucky - it just makes him feel sad. He isn't a Badger. He isn't a Panda. He doesn't belong.
But one day, there's a glow in the distance - a glow that changes everything. As Pablo uses his skills to save the day in a way that neither a Badger nor a Panda could, he realises the power that can be found in uniqueness - and he uses this power to unite both communities, changing the world around him for the better.
This debut story from CBeebies presenter Ben Cajee is an affirming and empowering tale about appreciating your own uniqueness and a true celebration of the power and joy that comes from embracing diversity.
