What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is a straightforward, secular, and positive introduction to Chinese culture. It avoids sensitive political or complex social topics. The primary consideration is that its 2008 publication date means some aspects of modern life may be dated. It also presents a somewhat monolithic view of "China," which could be a starting point for discussions about the country's vast diversity. The resolution of the book is simply an encouragement of continued curiosity.
