DESCRIPTION:
Guangxi, Yunnan & Shanxi ABC book I really enjoyed reading this book and looking at the photos that accompany each letter of the alphabet. The author also did the photos and what makes this book stand out among the other Chinese ABC books is that the photos are not the glossy touristy looking photos of wealthy families and places like the Imperial or Summer palace. But instead the photos of China's people doing their day to day things. The author states that the photos where taken in Guangxi, Yunnan & Shanxi. He wanted to show that the Chinese People are hard working, they have a strong commitment to their families, religion, history, customs both moder. C is for China I am working with a dual language child who home language is just Mandarin. This is a great book for him. He is a Kiidergartener and very smart. It helps bring the two cultures together for both of us.. "Very Nice Introduction to China for Youngsters." according to Lynn Ellingwood. I really like this book. It is a great introduction to China for young people written by a Chinese author. She wrote it very responsiblity and provides a general insight into her culture. I want to read other books by the author.
'Stunning collection Excellent.' Achuka
It presents a colourful portrait of Chinese culture, craft and custom, and celebrates both pastoral and metropolitan life in China.. From abacus to incence, proverb and Zen, this photographic alphabet book captures the many Oriental rhythms of day-to-day life in China
