I’m trying something a bit different today; I’m sharing books that I am recommending to my totally cool niece. In doing so, please note that I’m passionate (nearly to the point of obsession…) about sharing books that help kids look at the world from a different perspective.
This book is about a twelve-year-old girl, Ji-Li Jiang who lives in China. It’s 1966 and the Chairman of China, Mao Zedong declared a Cultural Revolution. This was an extreme political movement meant to push the Communist government agenda on all people who lived in China. It was a scary time to live through because just a wrong word from Ji-Li at school could mean that her whole family would be in trouble.
