What reviewers said
Let Good Ideas Flourish: A Q&A With Author Vivian Ling
"Each story features plenty of lively illustrations and teaches children a valuable lesson, while the book as a whole showcases the rich cultural heritage of China to young readers."
"…I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to look up much vocabulary! […] I read through the English text first before reading the Chinese and that helped me understand a lot of the context."
