Dragon on the Loose
About this ebook
- Two kids make a magical new friend when a wish on a Chinese lion statue comes true in this story about friendship, Chinese culture and, of course, dragons!
- The book introduces and helps to promote an understanding of Chinese culture and traditions, which is timely in light of the increase in anti-Asian racism occurring in North America right now.
- Marty Chan has a special connection to Edmonton's Chinatown, as it's where his parents lived when they first arrived in Edmonton. He has many memories of visiting the China Gate and rubbing the stone ball in the Chinese lion statue's mouth for good luck.
- Features several black-and-white illustrations throughout.
