Set during the period of the struggle against the Japanese and the war against the Kuomintang in the 1920s and ’30s, this book, written and illustrated by Guang Weiran’s award-winning artist son, Ange Zhang, illuminates a key period in China’s history. The passion and commitment of the artists who were born under the repressive weight of the Japanese occupation, the remnants of the decaying imperial order and the times of colonial humiliation are inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZhang’s words and wood-block style of art tell us the story of his father’s extraordinary youth and very early rise to prominence due to his great talent with words. We see and hear the intensity of what it meant to be alive at such a significant moment in the history of China, a country that understands itself as the heir to one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known. The humiliations and social injustice the Chinese people had endured in the colonial period were no longer bearable. And yet there were major factional differences between those who wanted to create a modern China. Ange’s words and art paint the picture for us through his father’s story, accompanied by sidebars that explain the historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book ends in a burst of glorious color and song, with the words of \u003ci\u003eYellow River Cantata \u003c\/i\u003ein Mandarin, as well as newly translated into English. This great song turns eighty years old in 2019, and will be sung and performed by huge orchestras and choirs around the world, as the Chinese diaspora has embraced the cantata as its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e historical context\u003cbr\u003e sidebars\u003cbr\u003e illustrations\u003cbr\u003e lyrics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.2\u003cbr\u003e Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.6\u003cbr\u003e Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.7\u003cbr\u003e Integrate information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words to develop a coherent understanding of a topic or issue.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-03-22T15:43:56-04:00","created_at":"2022-03-22T11:04:12-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 10 - 0","By (author) Zhang Ange","Childrens Accessible ebooks","Childrens Poetry","Childrens Starred Reviews","Fountas \u0026 Pinnell Text Level Gradient Z+","Groundwood Books","Guided Reading Level Z+","Illustrated by Zhang Ange","Lexile measure 1040L","Nonfiction","pub date: 2019-09-01","Stories from Around the World"],"price":1695,"price_min":1695,"price_max":1995,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40195514925115,"title":"hardcover jacket","option1":"hardcover jacket","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781773061511","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"A Song for China - hardcover jacket","public_title":"hardcover jacket","options":["hardcover jacket"],"price":1995,"weight":600,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781773061511","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}},{"id":40195518824507,"title":"epub","option1":"epub","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781773061528","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"A Song for China - epub","public_title":"epub","options":["epub"],"price":1695,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"9781773061528","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}},{"id":40195522101307,"title":"mobi","option1":"mobi","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781773062730","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"A Song for China - mobi","public_title":"mobi","options":["mobi"],"price":1695,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"9781773062730","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_cbfe61c7-ecf7-480d-a89f-0657eef16b66.jpg?v=1731051860","\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_870fe4d0-c157-404d-a77e-403e5ca81f9f.jpg?v=1647964448","\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_a18e5fe0-f0ea-4702-bc79-820de308afaa.jpg?v=1647964462","\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_24af2957-b553-4c82-adb0-c722e6c41b4b.jpg?v=1647964474"],"featured_image":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_cbfe61c7-ecf7-480d-a89f-0657eef16b66.jpg?v=1731051860","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"A group of nine people in uniforms with red stars on their hats sit on the floor of a boat.

Santiago has always known that Adrián has a big heart, and his steadfast friendship is also the reason Adrián has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.3\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003e\nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781773064581","Imprint":"Groundwood Books","KeyTextFeatures":"illustrations","MetaKeywords":"friendship;

She steals the neighbor’s turkey, yanks down the Christmas tree and destroys Mum’s almost-finished giant crossword. Everyone is mad, and it looks as though June Bug’s days are numbered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill doing a good deed make up for June Bug’s bad behavior?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicola certainly hopes so. And when she and June Bug come across a new nursing home in the neighborhood, it feels like a Sign. They volunteer to become regular visitors at Shady Oaks, certain that June Bug’s cute tricks will cheer up the elderly residents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, they could all use some cheering up. It’s the holiday, and yet everyone seems to be cranky and off balance. Nobody has put up any lights, Nicola’s grade five teacher is inexplicably crabby, and Nicola’s big brother Jared stays holed up in front of the computer playing Inferno 2, eagerly sending winged creatures into a fiery abyss.

I grab the lip of the pool. I also grab a mouthful of water, which makes me cough and cough. There is a large pair of hairy feet planted right beside my hand. I look up, my vision all swimmy through goggles full of water — way up, past a pair of Superman legs, a pair of yellow bathing trunks with palm trees on them, a chest big enough to pitch a tent on, to a face glaring down at me as if I am a toad and the only thing stopping him from squashing me is that he doesn’t have his toad-squashing boots on. Then I see the comic book in his hand.
