This beautifully illustrated multicultural children's book tells the story of a young boy and his magical rooster in both English and Chinese-a great story for Chinese New Year! Long long ago, there lived a boy named Tang Yun. He studied very hard and was ready to take the imperial exam in the Capital City thousands of miles away. Yun's mother was worried about him traveling alone. After working day and night, she finished hand embroidering a rooster on Yun's outfit, hoping the magical rooster would be her son's guardian angel. During his trip, magic happened whenever Yun was in danger. With a crowing of cock-a doodle-doo, the embroidered rooster jumped out of Yun's outfit. He was alive! He was brave, timely and kind. He helped Yun overcome many obstacles during his trip. Yun arrived at the Capital City safely and successfully passed his exam with honor. He eventually reunited with his mother. They lived happily together ever after.

The story is beautifully told and illustrated and reflects Chinese culture and style, with the text written in both English and Chinese. Intended for children ages four to eight, it will be appreciated by all ages. -Foreword magazine This charming story is told in English and in Chinese. The two languages flow together across the pages with their animated illustrations. A unique gift, the book is as much art as it is entertainment. A beautiful story, beautifully told. -Retailing Insight Magazine Li uses muted shades of blue, gray, and tan for his modest paintings; in a lovely touch, the images of the rooster are actually embroidered. Details about the rooster, the 10th sign of the Chinese zodiac, round out this quiet, fable-like tale. -Publishers Weekly ...a wonderful and sweet tale. -Crafty Moms Share blog
