This text is in English and Chinese. It is suitable for ages 5 years and over. The first in the "I See the Sun" Series, readers follow a young girl as she travels from a small town in China to the city of Shanghai to spend time with her aunt. The unspoken message of this book is the movement from the old to the new, while still maintaining some connections with the past. It depicts some of the many choices available in China today, and the drive to be successful in a modern world. The story provides a unique introduction to the culture, family life and language of China in a way that is age-appropriate and sensitive to the true environment. Children will be able to recognise the similarities as well as the differences between their own culture and the culture of modern China. Written in both English and Mandarin Chinese, the book is beautifully illustrated with warm, engaging collages made from photographs, colourful paper cut-outs, and drawings. It includes country overview and glossary of unfamiliar terms.
