Best Selling Books by Grace Lin

From award-winning author Elissa Brent Weissman comes a collection of quirky, smart, and vulnerable childhood works by some of today’s foremost children’s authors and illustrators—revealing young talent, the storytellers they would one day become, and the creativity they inspire today. Everyone’s story begins somewhere… For Linda Sue Park, it was a trip to the ocean, a brand-new typewriter, and a little creative license. For Jarrett J. Krosoczka, it was a third grade writing assignment that ignited a creative fire in a kid who liked to draw. For Kwame Alexander, it was a loving poem composed for Mother’s Day—and perfected through draft after discarded draft. For others, it was a teacher, a parent, a beloved book, a word of encouragement. It was trying, and failing, and trying again. It was a love of words, and pictures, and stories. Your story is beginning, too. Where will it go?

Für Mulan ist die Familie heilig. Trotz ihrer temperamentvollen und manchmal ungeschickten Persönlichkeit, die so ganz anders ist als die ihrer sanften und anmutigen Schwester Xiu, sind die beiden jungen Frauen eng miteinander verbunden. Als Xiu von einer giftigen Spinne gebissen wird, zögert Mulan, die alles tun würde, um sie zu retten, keine Sekunde und macht sich auf den Weg, um die Hilfe eines berühmten Heilers in Anspruch zu nehmen. Doch schon bald muss sie feststellen, dass es sich nicht um den Biss einer gewöhnlichen Spinne handelt - und auch der seltsame Heiler verbirgt offensichtlich ein Geheimnis. Als Mulan ihm folgt, um das Gegenmittel zur Rettung ihrer Schwester zu finden, begibt sie sich auf eine Reise, die alles übertrifft, was sie sich je hätte vorstellen können. Eine Reise mit außergewöhnlichen Hindernissen, vielen Geheimnissen und der Entdeckung einer seltsamen Prophezeiung, die vielleicht das größte Geheimnis ihrer Familie birgt.

In the Chinese Year of the Rat, a young Taiwanese American girl faces many challenges: her best friend moves to California and a new boy comes to her school, she must find the courage to forge ahead with her dream of becoming a writer and illustrator, and she must learn to find the beauty in change.

When Pacy, her two sisters, and their parents go to Taiwan to celebrate Grandma''s sixtieth birthday, the girls learn a great deal about their heritage.

Family is important to Hua Mulan--even if her parents don''t understand why she would rather ride her horse, Black Wind, than weave, or how her notorious clumsiness can be so different from the graceful demeanor of her younger sister, Xiu. But despite their differences, Mulan has a deep love for her family, especially Xiu. So when her sister is bitten by a poisonous spider, Mulan does everything she can to help, including seeking out a renowned healer. However, it quickly becomes apparent that there is more to both the mysterious spider bite and the healer than meets the eye. On a quest with the Jade Rabbit of legend, Mulan visits extraordinary places, meets Immortals, and faces incredible obstacles while searching for an antidote for her sister. And the danger only rises when Mulan learns of a prophecy foretelling that a member of the Hua family will one day save the Emperor . . . and of the powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to prevent it from coming to pass.
