Ride on a rhino, enter a mandala, or climb Mt. Fuji! Asia is an entire
world of incredible places to go and things to see and do!
Exploring other cultures is a favorite classroom activity for teachers
and students alike. Now, author Sue DiCicco draws on her background as a
writer, illustrator, sculptor, and former Disney animator to take kids
on an imaginative tour of China, Japan, Korea, India, and beyond through
artifacts on display at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
Adventures in Asian Art travels from exhibit to exhibit, inviting kids
to picture themselves in a variety of Asian countries as they ride on a
rhino, become a samurai, or climb Mt. Fuji! Asia is home to an endless
array of surprising places to go and things to see and do, and through
the magic of DiCicco's charming verse narrative, readers join a cartoon
mom as she takes her three cartoon children through the museum for an
afternoon of nonstop fun and learning.
This delightfully illustrated, classroom-friendly book shares a series
of fun facts about each of the exhibits and explains the culture,
beliefs, and daily life informing these beautiful works of art.
