A book of photo essays of Everland’s twin pandas Rui Bao and Hui Bao will be released on Wednesday.

Written by Everland zookeeper Song Young-Kwan, the book "Omniscient Viewpoint of Rui & Hui" (translated) will include pictures of the twin pandas and their family taken in Everland's zoo, Zootopia, by Everland’s photographer Ryu Jeong-hun.

The photo essays will include a “heartwarming story of growth” of the two pandas, Samsung C&T, operator of the theme park said Tuesday.

Rui Bao and Hui Bao are the siblings of star giant panda Fu Bao and Korea’s first naturally bred giant panda twins.

Fu Bao was moved to Sichuan Province, China, on April 3. The star panda is residing in the Shenshuping Panda Base in Wolong, China as of Tuesday. Rui Bao and Hui Bao are in Everland's zoo in Gyeonggi.

Song wrote "Omniscient Viewpoint of Fubao," released last year. The zookeeper was affectionately referred to as the "great uncle" of Fu Bao along with famed zookeeper Kang Cheol-won, who was called the panda's "grandfather."

The new book of photo essays will be available for purchase in both online and offline bookstores.
