Summary from Random House Children's Publishing
Emily's dad is in Mongolia, helping to set up a new project to help endangered snow leopards in the area. When Emily goes to visit him at half term, she can't believe her luck when she makes friends with adorable snow leopard cub, Leo. But not everyone is as pleased that the leopards are making themselves at home. With the help of local boy Bataar, can Emily show the villagers that there's a way to live peacefully with the leopards?
Nayuleska's thoughts
Awww! This book is filled with cuteness it mad me cry. My heart melted at Emily's kind nature and the adorable cub. I can understand why the villagers were against snow leopards, I'm relieved Emily helped change their mind. I hope Emily gets to help more cute baby animals in the future, and people get interested in helping save animals. Even if everyone only did one of the suggestions in the back of this 10/10 read the world would be a better place.
