Xinran reveals a small glimpse into the lives of Chinese women across time. It's fascinating (and somewhat depressing) to read of these women's lives, and how they were affected by the political changes in China over the last 60+ years.
As the mother of a daughter born in China, I personally found these stories compelling. When my daughter is old enough, and if she is interested, I believe this book will help her understand--just a little--what her life might have been like if she'd been raised in her country of birth.

This is a beautiful book for children. It's all about learning how to do things independently, set in a rhyming format, and with beautiful pictures. A few references to God, nothing too heavy-handed.

I ordered this book to use with my preschool/early elementary Deaf students. It is perfect for developing their storytelling skills, and for vocabulary development. (Most kids nowadays don't have a clue what a butter churn is!) The kids really like it, too.
