China is a vast and ancient country, one with many great traditions and diverse nomadic peoples. Deciding to undertake a journey to find out more about the country in which he was born, Chinese-Canadian artist Song Nan Zhang travelled from Beijing to Inner Mongolia along the Silk Road and painted portraits of the nomad minority groups he found along the way. The result, the exquisitely beautiful The Children of China, is a testimony to the unique ways of life that flourish in China. Young readers will learn about the ways of life of such groups as the Mongolians, the Miao, the Tajiks, the Yi and the Han with the help of the illustrator of A Little Tiger in the Chinese Night. | The Children Of China by Song Nan Zhang, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
