Red is a Dragon

$6.99

Product Description:
Discover shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and more as a little girl finds color in all sorts of everyday things. Many of the featured objects are Asian in origin, others universal: red is the dragon in the Chinese New Year parade, green is a bracelet made of jade, and yellow are the taxis she sees on her street. With rich, boisterous illustrations and colors that leap off the page, this concept picturebook will brighten every child's day!

Paperback, English, 4-8

Author: Roseanne Thong
Illustrator: Grace Lin

Mei Mei Says:
I love how Grace Lin mixed the Chinese things with other daily items. The kids and I practiced our Chinese knowledge with this book. We talked about what other Chinese food is white (tofu, chow fun, rice cakes), and what is yellow (egg tarts, pineapple crumb buns, etc).

About the Author:
Grace Lin is the author and illustrator of more than a dozen picture books, including THE UGLY VEGETABLES and DIM SUM FOR EVERYONE! Grace's first children's novel THE YEAR OF THE DOG was released with glowing praise. While most of Grace's books are about the Asian-American experience, she believes, "Books erase bias, they make the uncommon everyday, and the mundane exotic. A book makes all cultures universal."
