For the Intermediates, I&#8217;ll be promoting books by authors of Chinese descent and books that are about Chinese culture or history. One new book by a Canadian author, B.L. Sauder is <em><strong>Year of the Golden Dragon<\/strong><\/em> , an adventure and mystery story.\u00a0 A couple\u00a0of my favourites are <em>White Jade Tiger<\/em> by Julie Lawson and <em>The bone collector&#8217;s son<\/em> by Paul Yee which touch upon the role of Chinese-Canadians in our province&#8217;s history.

Because it is the year of the Dragon, I&#8217;ll be reading a humourous picturebook titled <em><strong>East Dragon, West Dragon<\/strong><\/em> by Robyn Eversole which explains the differences between dragons from Western culture and Eastern culture. Some classes may also enjoy using the tangrams as I read the book, <em>Grandfather Tang&#8217;s Story, a<\/em> <em>tale told with tangrams<\/em> by Ann Tompert.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/seaforth-library\/files\/2012\/01\/eastdragon.bmp\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-351\" title=\"eastdragon\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/seaforth-library\/files\/2012\/01\/eastdragon.bmp\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gung Hay Fat Choy!
