About This Story
When a little panda cub named Bao is given his very own Sunflower Picnic Basket, he decides he wants to keep every sweet bamboo shoot inside it just for himself. But as he wanders through Bamboo Valley and meets one hungry friend after another, Bao begins to feel a strange heaviness in his heart — a heaviness that has nothing to do with how full his basket is. By the end, Bao learns that a basket held tightly feels lonely, but a basket opened wide feels like Alhamdulillah warmth spreading through his whole chest — and that sharing what Allah has given him doesn't make his blessings smaller, it makes them sweeter.
