Join one family's journey as they design and build an authentic
Chinese garden in their backyard!
Papa seems to have a grand plan for the backyard. Day by day, he
transforms the little space--building walls, a pond, and a gazebo with
his own two hands. Everyone's favorite addition to the new garden is the
colorful carp. Each member of the family releases one into the fresh
pond, hoping it will bring them good luck.
This bilingual children's book tells a simple, but sweet story about a
man, his dream, and his very happy family. Written in both English and
Chinese, kids can follow along as a family brings all the world's great
mountains and rivers to their own backyard.
A fun way to learn about Chinese language and culture, A Journey in Our
Family's Chinese Garden is sure to delight the entire family. Flip
through the pages, which are full of Chinese ink painting illustrations
and cutout designs, to enjoy the natural beauty of the completed garden.
