Features: "My" (My Wildlife Friends) went on sale in mid-to-late May 2002 and had nearly 200,000 copies printed by the end of the year. The Taiwan traditional Chinese edition also sold over 80,000 copies. Meanwhile, Tipi is still gaining momentum, and the number of Tipi fans is growing daily. Why does a French girl's book about Africa possess such extraordinary charm and influence that it attracts people of all ages and regions? What kind of child is Tipi, and what magical abilities and unique charisma does she possess? This book documents the complete journey of young Tipi and her mother Sylvie from August 22 to September 3, 2002, as they visited seven cities—Beijing, Chengdu, Kunming, Shangri-La, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Shanghai—for interviews, meet-and-greets, book signings, Q&A sessions, visits to Chinese scholars, and tours of famous historical and cultural sites. Notably, the book comes with a nearly one-hour VCD, featuring clips of Tipi's life in Africa, as well as special programs from China Central Television's "Reading Time" and "Half the Sky" featuring interviews with Tipi and her mother, as well as the book's publishers. The clips of Tipi's life in Asia are making their debut in mainland China, offering a rare and vivid glimpse into her world. Readers can hear her voice, see her in person, listen to her songs, and get a lifelike impression of Tipi. The book also includes self-narratives, interviews, and representative book reviews and reader testimonials from young Tipi's parents, as well as experts and readers in mainland China, providing a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Tipi, the Tipi phenomenon, and Tipi's mission. The chronicle of major events reflecting Tipi's popularity in China over the years serves as a detailed and valuable reference.
