Description - Kite Flying by Grace Lin
This is a very simple story of a family building a kite together, step by step, and then taking it out to fly. Perfect reading for a blustery spring day.
Its simple text makes it accessible to very young readers. And the brief history of kite flying at the end adds value for parents.
The family from Dim Sum for Everyone! is back for a new outing- building and flying their own kite!
The wind is blowing. It is a good day for kites! The whole family makes a trip to the local craft store for paper, glue, and paint. Everyone has a job- Ma-Ma joins sticks together. Ba-Ba glues paper. Mei-Mei cuts whiskers while Jie-Jie paints a laughing mouth. Dragon eyes are added and then everyone attaches the final touch . . . a noisemaker! Now their dragon kite is ready to fly.
Kite Flying celebrates the Chinese tradition of kite making and kite flying and lovingly depicts a family bonded by this ancient and modern pleasure.
