Undoubtedly, one of the best ways to learn and teach a language is with the help of fun stories and books. They help us apply our vocabulary. That’s why you should take this opportunity to use these Chinese Christmas books! Here are some of our top picks for Christmas with a selection of books suitable for ages 0-12.

It’s that special time of year again where we take the time to remember and appreciate all the wonderful things that fathers are and do! Fathers can come in all shapes and sizes so it’s important that we celebrate each and every one in the way they deserve. To help us with the celebrations, of course, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourites to get the ball rolling!

I’m sure many will agree with me that mothers have a very special place in all our hearts. It’s all the amazing things that mothers can do and juggle in their lives in order to provide for us and love us so that they may enjoy and discover life alongside us - with all the highs and lows, of course. So we’ve compiled a list of books that are based on mothers and love and the like! What will you be reading this Mother’s Day?

It was a challenge to write this review. And that’s not because the book is bad! On the contrary, the book was so wonderful I was doing my best not to get up and scavenge the kitchen for food! Cheryl, Isabel and Mori have done a truly brilliant job in putting this book together in such a way that respects representations in the book. Food, culture and location come to life on the page and bring joy to your library in a book that’s perfect for almost every kid (and adult)!

Non-fiction is great. Books that can last for a whole year are also great. This series simply combines the two! Every book makes every solar term a delight to discover. It helps children engage with the world they live in by asking them to make observations about seasonal changes and incorporates that with festivals and celebrations, customs and culture. Its format and content mean even adults (including me!) can enjoy, too. Just be mindful when around babies and toddlers!

There are some books that make you want to be a kid again and, for me, this is one of those books. The illustrations are delightful and the book is stunningly designed and put together. Every page is a joy to open and discover and the interactive nature of the book makes it really engaging for kids! This is a wonderful introduction to the Lunar New Year celebrations that children will enjoy!

I remember getting very excited for Christmas every year as a young kid - and I still do! There’s something about the cheery atmosphere and all that delicious food and meeting family and friends. We’ve compiled this list with short summaries on books we recommend for Christmas.
