I first read Where the Mountain Meets the Moon (in galley form) on a train being tossed by the fits of a winter Nor’easter. With mittened hands I read the last page, breathed out, and said, “perfect.” And it was and is after several re-readings. Make sure a copy is in your hands (mittened or not) on July 1 when the book is released.
Curious City was proud to mine Grace Lin’s rich pages to create reader and classroom activities in science, math, art, calligraphy, cooking, ancestry, and the fine art of discussion. You can view and download that activity kit (designed by Grace’s sister) and use it to spice up your wee reading of the book. (Many thanks to Betsy Thompson for help with the Chinese characters.)
Next up–testing an event kit for the same delicious book.
