Good Morning China by Hu Yong Yi

Good Morning China by Hu Yong Yi
This book was an enjoyably simple book to read. Each page had about one sentence on it, but it was the illustrations that truly showed a glimpse of life in a community in China. There were definitely similarities that kids could relate well such as 'riding bikes', or 'playing cards,' and there are other activities that are unique to the Chinese community. Activities such as 'pushing hands', 'doing tai chi', or 'sitting by a lotus pond.' I think it's a great starter discussion for other cultures and what's similar or unique to them. It's very possible that as future teachers we will have students from China and if they're willing and know much about what is talked about in the book, the students could elaborate on these activities. There's also an awesome pop-out page at the end of the book that shows all the activites that the people are doing. I would definitely love to have this book in my classroom!
