This story is a delightful journey that's easy to follow yet packed with meaning! I absolutely love how it weaves in simple Mandarin words, adding an extra layer of richness. Plus, at the end of each page, it showcases the poses of Tai Chi moves, making it even more engaging! This book truly celebrates the beauty of diverse cultures and inspires non-American kids to take pride in their heritage. It's such a vibrant and uplifting experience!
