Summary
Details

"Meet Amy, a 7-year-old Chinese Canadian girl with a unique story. Born and raised in Canada, Amy doesn't see herself as Chinese. But her parents think differently. They believe it's important for her to learn Chinese because of her heritage. This leaves Amy wondering, what does it really mean to be Chinese, or Canadian, or both?

""I'm Not Chinese"" is a fun, witty bilingual children's book inspired by a real story. It's crafted to gently nudge young readers toward understanding that identity isn't about choosing one over another. Being part of multiple cultures is not just okay; it's a beautiful thing.

This book is an excellent tool for early readers and those beginning to learn Simplified / Mandarin Chinese. Enjoy short, easy reading while picking up new vocabulary in English and Chinese with pinyin. The side-by-side bilingual format makes learning engaging and accessible.

⭐️ Key Highlights:

Bilingual Fun: Experience the joy of reading with English and Chinese text side by side. Beginner-Friendly: Perfect for early readers and new learners of the Chinese language. A Meaningful Message: Delve into themes of identity, language learning, and perseverance. A Perfect Gift: Ideal for inquisitive boys and girls aged 5-8, especially those exploring their identity in a diverse society."
