The Story of Noodles
by Ying Chang Compestine
illustrated by YongSheng Xuan
"...they provide an important intervention into the existing literature by foregrounding Chinese characters as the main protagonists rather than as supporting or marginal characters in their narratives.... Even for readers who may have limited knowledge of China, these books demystify these cultural references and make them more accessible to readers in various ways."
