In 1988, award-winning poet Nikki Grimes spent three weeks along the east coast of China. At the same time, artist and China native Ed Young was there writing and sketching his impressions in a personal journal. Both observed signs of the old China alongside the new, and both set what they saw on paper. Through Grimes's penetrating verse and Young's deft drawings, Tai Chi Morning blends two voices that speak not only about China but also about the many ways of experiencing the world.
Reviews
"As always, Grimes gives young people exactly what they're looking for -- real characters who show them they are not alone."
