Debbi Michiko Florence talks about what she loved most writing her two non-fiction titles, China and Japan.



More about Debbi Michiko Florence's books:

China
Children can dig in with hands, feet and mind to 4,000 years of this country's history, traditions and culture. Through photos, illustrations, diagrams, interviews and activities children will gain a deeper understanding of China and its people.

Japan
A hands-on, interactive guide to the culture, history, people, and traditions of Japan. Children will:
  • learn how to write and speak some Japanese words
  • explore fascinating places like Mount Fuji and Tokyo
  • learn how to fold origami and how to use chopsticks
  • discover what schools in Japan are like
More than 40 activities, modern photographs, diagrams, and humorous art bring this fascinating country to life.

And for those wondering which bubble tea shop I like best: Fantasia Tea Cafe.
