Shanghai Press The Bamboo and Me: Exploring Bamboo's Many Uses
Book SynopsisIs bamboo a food, a grass, or a wood? One little boy knows that it's all three!Told in both English and Chinese, Bamboo and Me is the story of a little boy whose house was surrounded by many bamboo forests and streams. He lived with bamboo all year round. In spring, he ate delicate and delicious bamboo shoots; in summer, he crafted pliant bamboo stalks into baskets and brooms that he used as tools for fishing; in fall, he used mature bamboo to build kites that flew high and far; in winter, pork cooked with bamboo shoots was the celebratory dish for his family's New Year's Eve dinner. Even the special gift he received from his grandfather on New Year's Eve was made of bamboo. Winsomely told and delightfully illustrated, Bamboo and Me is a tale that will enchant readers of all ages.Trade Review"Yahuan has a soft art style that captures the gentle, dim light of a bamboo forest. Through a warm depiction of a family's day-to-day life, Bin demonstrates the versatility of a single resource." —Publishers Weekly"Bamboo and Me is a great fact-filled story book that really tells two tales; one about the narrator's dream, and the other about bamboo's uses in everyday life. This makes it fun and informative without being dry. The dual-language element is also a great way to bring generations together and for other languages to be introduced to children." —Castle View Academy blog
