About this item

In this beautifully illustrated multicultural childrens book, a little Chinese boy named Long-Long accompanies his grandfather into the city to sell cabbages in order to buy food and decorations for the New Year. Selling cabbages is harder than Long-Long expects, and he encounters many adventures before he finds a way to help his grandfather, and earn New Years treats for his mother and little cousin. . The stunning, authentic illustrations by a talented Chinese artist capture the look of everyday life in rural China. Combined with the charming story of Long-Longs trip to the city, they offer a unique introduction to Chinese culture. It includes a glossary of Chinese terms.
