On a magical journey through the Himalayas on the
back of a crane a brother, sister, and baby snow leopard learn the
importance of our precious environment.
While on a mission to find the lost leopard's home, Zompa, Gonpo,
and Norbu learn responsibility for the world around them.
Written in Tibetan, English, and Japanese this tale is decorated
