Before long, she joins a gang of new sun bear friends at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. Life is much better...but...

Australian author (and avid traveller) Sarah Pye met Malaysian Dr Wong Siew Te in 2012. She asked what she could do to help sun bears. He replied, ""do what you do best"". Those five powerful words sparked a Doctor of Creative Arts degree, an enduring friendship, and many adventures.

Reviews for Wildlife Wong and the Sun Bear: Wildlife Wong Series Book 1

"""This is the best book I have ever read. I think lots of kids will love, it and learn from it!"" India, Australia ""What I enjoyed most about the book was Damai's story. There was happiness and sadness. In my head, I could imagine what it would be like to be a sun bear."" Riley, Australia ""I like having the experiments at the end of the book because the experiments have to do with parts of the story, and it lets me become a scientist like Wong. ""I really hope other kids will love sun bears as much as I do after reading this book and help to save them like me."" Taylor, - Canada"
