BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SOME
A young Chinese boy and his brother travel with their parents up a mountain to their tea garden to harvest fresh tea leaves for the day. Follow along to experience firsthand what is like to be a tea farmer in rural China, and also see how their family interacts in this sweet story.
Originally published in China and created by a Chinese author and illustrator, this picture book offers an authentic portrayal of rural Chinese life. It provides young American readers with a window into a different culture, highlighting distinctive landscapes, plants, animals, and daily activities typical of a Chinese family living in the country. I could see this being an important addition to a dual-language immersion classroom, or to any world language classroom.
