My China Travel Journal: Charming, Engaging Story about Daily Life in China.

We all know that China will be a major world influence throughout our kids’ lives, but what do we really know about life in China? My China Travel Journal is the story of Emma and Joe, two American children, who travel to China and tell us about the things they see. We meet the neighbors, a sidewalk artist, children flying kites, and more, and they all offer a bit more information about what makes China special.

This book is a fascinating and respectful look at Chinese culture that will spark the imagination of children leaving them open to the differences between people.
