Chinese Proverbs Motherbridge of Love The Red Thread: An Adoption Fairy Tale Bringing in the New Year Found in China

Editorial Reviews:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF CHINA. Playing, exercising, resting under a lotus tree: the things happening in an ordinary park on an ordinary morning.

Early morning, and a community is coming to life. Children are playing, an artist is painting, people are exercising and meditating. Each page in this lovely picure book presents a snap-shot, and a final foldout spread collects them all to give a panorama of daily life in China. Hu yong Yi's paintings are saturated with color and rich in life and feeling.

Summary: A treasure for our family
Comment: Having just returned from China with our adopted 18 month old I found this book at the library and had to order several copies for other adoptive families. It reminded me of the wonderful people we met in China, and the lovely communities and neighborhods that gather in their parks. These were my favorite memories of China and each time I read the book to my daughter I can tell her about the wonderful people that loved her for the first part of her life. She chooses this book almost every night for me to read and especially loves the last page that has a pull out with of the images from the pages - so she can see the entire park. I think this book will inspire lots of different discussions about China as she grows older. It's truly a gem.

Summary: What do men, women & children do in early morning in China?! You might be surprised...
Comment: This is a wonderful wonderful book to see how China's people "celebrate" their mornings with activities in the park. I don't want to give it away, but how GREAT! We visited China twice in adopting children, and visits to the park in early morning were an incomparable highlight. I have a hand-compiled version of this book that had been offered (no longer) via Half the Sky from this author/artist. In fact, it is so great, that I wound up getting a second one just so my children would each have their own. A great book for all interested in other cultures, soft, sweet, gentle and fun with a fantastic fold-out at the end. Every adoptee from China should have one!
