We are NOT accepting payment at the door as we need an accurate count so all children receive their book About the Author/Puppeteer: GRACE CHANG was born in Beijing, China, to a family of famous entertainers. As a little girl, she often sat with her father Chang Bao Ting, while he wrote his shows (radio/stage/TV). She dreamed of becoming a writer herself one day. Her father's "talk shows" were comparable to American variety television programs such as Abbott and Costello. At a young age, Grace Chang learned the art of magic/illusion from her grandfather, often in the courtyards of the Forbidden City, to which she lived next door. Some years later, Grace was selected for the job of start illusionist and ringmaster in an internationally acclaimed Chinese circus. She is a multi- talented entertainer and performer and has appeared on stage and screen in both China and the United States, including the film, The Joy Luck Club. Most recently, Grace became a children's book author. Her ambition springs from her father's influence who always told her to do things well or not at all. About the Book: An enchanting story of a dragon that doesn't know what it is and sets off on a journey of adventure and discovery to find out. Beautifully illustrated in Chinese watercolor by Grace's brother, this wonderful read includes information on Chinese dragons (and how they differ from what we usually think of when we think of dragons), Chinese written characters and a picture history of 13 Chinese characters that are central to the story.
