Luka® can read this book!
By celebrated Chinese children's book author, 保冬妮 Bao Dongni, this beautifully-illustrated book Snails 水牛儿 (shuǐ niú ér ) (also translated as The Way Home from School)tells a heartwarming story about family, resilience, mindfulness and gratitude, in the setting of a Hutong, a troditional courtyard residence in Beijing, China.
Settign in the background of the late 80s, 保冬妮 tells a story about a hard-working mother who creatively responds to her daughter's inquiry about why they have to walk home in the rain while her classmates ride in cars. The mother-daughter's walking-home-journey turns into an eye-opening exploration of the sounds, animals and plants in the rain, as well as simple yet inspiration-filled conversations between a mother and a child. If your child loves realistic stories such as the Caldecoot Honor book 市场街最后一站 Last Stop on Market Street, this is a wonderful original Chinese story just for her/him.
Why we love these books:
- Simple dialogues and short texts
- Manifest of contemperary Chinese culture
- Children love to sing the troditional nursery rhyme about snails along the reading
- Heart-warming realistic stories
- Include diverse autentic Asian characters
- Portray strong, resilient, wise and loving female characters
- Both full opportunities to highlight positive character traits
- Beautiful illustration with a mix of troditional and contemperary Chinese
