Friendly, curious Pangolina-a member of the only mammalian species with scales-spends a happy childhood with her mother and other animals in the forest. But all pangolins are in danger because their scales are prized by humans who wrongly believe they have curative powers. One day a hunter captures Pangolina and takes her to sell in a market. To the rescue comes a small girl who knows that pangolins are friendly fellow creatures who have feelings, too. .
