Magical Seeds and A Cheerful Giver,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Magical Starfruit Tree; A Chinese Folktale (Hardcover)
...While in San Francisco's Chinatown, I stumbledacross the delightful children's book called The Magical StarfruitTree. The virtues of sharing and respect for elders are thecornerstone of Chinese philosophy. Author Rosalind Wang conveys this message perfectly in her version of the famous Chinese folktale. The story takes place in a small village on a very hot day. A greedy peddler refuses to share his star fruit with an elderly and thirsty beggar. Realizing the beggar is in desperate need of liquid, a young boy shares all of his money to buy a star fruit for him. ... Following the "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" Golden Rule, the book's message transcends all racial boundaries and historical timelines. It creates a perfect opportunity for parents to discuss morals and ethics with their children. The Magical Starfruit Tree is published by Beyond Words Publishing END |
