The Seven Chinese Sisters











written by Kathy Tucker and illustrated by Grace Lin
ages: k-3

There once were seven Chinese sisters who lived and worked together and also took care of one another. Each sister has unique talents and abilities ranging from counting past 500 to making exceptional noodle soup--all except for baby Seventh Sister. Her talent still lies undiscovered. When a fierce red dragon takes Seventh Sister, the other six sisters work together to save her.

In this update of the classic Chinese folktale, the Seven Sisters work together in the love and bond that is sisterhood. This story reiterates the amazing strength of girls and the talents that each individual has. Read this with a girl that you love--it is truly a book filled with "girl power!"
