Description
In order to get a ride home on a dragon's back, Ge-Hui's lost Paper Butterfly must solve a riddle about something made in China 2,000 years ago that is still used today. The butterfly travels extensively within China, visiting significant landmarks like the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Great Wall of China, and the terra-cotta soldiers in Xi'an. In the midst of despair, the butterfly encounters another New Year paper butterfly who might have the answer. The story provides a unique perspective on Chinese culture, complemented by illustrations inspired by Chinese folk art, a map of China, and a DIY guide on creating a paper butterfly.
