3) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Mountains: A Visual Poem about China by Chronicle Books. The design of the book is extremely creative and artistic. The pictorial language of Chinese, besides its beauty, is thought provoking. It makes children think with imagination and ask to learn more.

4) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Mountains: A Visual Poem about China by Chronicle Books. The book is designed in such a unique way that the graduated lengths of the pages enable readers
to read the entire poem from the title page. Enchanting. Children and adults are fascinated by the
composition of pictures that form a single word (or character). When they exclaimed, "Wow! These
words are so different from English." I couldn´t help but add to the beautiful words of the Author
and said, "Be open to difference, Difference helps us see beauty."
