Ting Ting, The Girl Who Saved China Book Tour & Giveaway

I’m absolutely thrilled to be taking part in the Ting Ting, The Girl Who Saved China Book Tour, hosted by The Children’s Book Review. Check out my review below, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

Li Li Wang is enjoying Chinese New Year with her family when her grandparents ask her to sit with them. Before giving Li Li her holiday gift, they tell her the story of Ting Ting Wang, Li Li’s ancestor, and how she became a Chinese hero. Li Li carefully listens as her grandparents tell her about Ting Ting, the monster Nian, and the origin of the Chinese New Year celebration. Ting Ting, the Girl Who Saved China provides insight into China’s biggest holiday, gives a sense of its culture, and shows that girls are just as strong and brave as boys.

My Review

I loved this book! I had no idea of the story behind the Chinese New Year, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn something new! I really enjoyed learning about the celebration and rituals of another country. I would love to witness this one day and maybe find the lucky coin in my jiaozi (dumpling). There’s also the message that girls can be just as strong and brave as boys – and that they can do anything they put their mind to. In addition, the importance of family is highlighted in a beautiful way. A gorgeously illustrated book that everyone will enjoy!
