Premise

The series stars a 7-year-old girl, Luo Bao Bei, as she navigates childhood and the world around her. Fantasy and dreams add elements of surrealism. Since then, Luo has acted as a Beijing city spokesperson and road safety icon involved in community outreach programs.[4]

Characters
  • Luo Bao Bei (voiced by Hana Burnett): The main character of the series. She loves her friends, and solving problems. She likes to blow her party blower from her hair. Her friends mainly call her by her initials, LBB. When she does something wrong, her imaginary friend Pink Bear helps her put it right.
  • Timmy (voiced by Leo Tang) is one of LBB's best friends. He is the only male friend of LBB's friends. He is sometimes curious.
  • Faye (voiced by Natalia Jade Jonathan) is one of LBB's best friends. She is sometimes sensitive and stubborn.
  • Pink Bear is LBB's imaginary friend. He is a stuffed pink bear wearing a yellow napkin tied around his neck. He helps LBB solve problems when she does something wrong. He pops out emoticon bubbles when he has feeling about LBB's troubles. He takes her to an imaginary place for LBB to know what is right.
  • Mao Mao is LBB's pet cat. He loves LBB, but he is egotistical and he always loves to nap, but he loves to have fun in imagination.
