China's Bravest Girl is the legend of Hua Mu Lan. It is written in a poem in this version by Charlie Chin. The pictures are sweet with enough going on in them to keep E's interest. We've read it daily since we found it at our library. We can only read this in English since there is no pinyin accompanying the Chinese characters. I wonder if we'll ever be able to read the characters! Here is one passage from the book that is my favorite part:"The ocean hides the oyster.
The oyster hides a pearl.
Bright armor and heavy helmet
hid China's bravest girl."
