I wrote this book to help me to teach my daughter Chinese. I was born in Australia and sadly cannot speak Chinese. I want my daughter to know her heritage, and this book has enough prompts to let me read and sing to her in Chinese even though I can't speak. The translations are deliberately word by word so that you can understand what you read and use it in other contexts. My favourite versions to sing along with are https://youtu.be/_tWbS5Txc_s and https://youtu.be/oVjVwZ5HMPA. She loves to read it together, and to do the activities at the end. As a result she has learnt several characters and words. I'd love if you can buy a copy to support my work and allow me to create more bilingual books for non-native speakers.
