Description

"What was made in China 2,000 years ago and is still used today?" This is the riddle Ge-Hui's lost Paper Butterfly must solve to get a ride home on a dragon's back. To find an answer, Paper Butterfly flits far and wide - to the great city of Beijing and its Forbidden City, further to the Great Wall of China, and further still to the 2,000-year-old terra-cotta soldiers in the walled city of Xi'an. Just when she is beginning to despair, the butterfly meets another New Year paper butterfly. Will she have the answer? This butterfly's-eye view of China and its culture features illustrations inspired by Chinese folk art, a map of China, and instructions on how to make a paper butterfly.
