On the Tip of a Wave combines Chinese artist Ai Weiwei’s artistry with his background to illustrate his activism and how he has impacted the world.
I didn't know much about Ai Weiwei, just enough to recognize his name. The book was engaging enough that I now want to learn more about him. I wonder at using this in the classroom, however, as the teacher might have to do a bit of frontloading so students can understand it better, but I also see a lot of project-based learning that could be tied to the text too with connections to current events and world-issues.
