Celebrate Women's History Month with Bergen County's own Author-Illustrator, Hui Li, as she takes you on a journey into the world of Chinese characters through her picture book, SCROLL.
Explore the traditions of Asian literacy and engage in a fun session learning the art of drawing Chinese calligraphy. Recognized as one of BookPage's Best Picture Books of 2023, SCROLL empowers children through the inspiring journey of a young girl and celebrates cultural heritage.
An Introduction to SCROLL
Little girl Lulu and her dog Dumpling enter a magical world where Chinese calligraphy comes to life. Spanning themes of art and history, this inventive story introduces children to complex Chinese characters, celebrates family and tradition, and shows how resourcefulness and kindness can empower us to overcome challenges and save the day.
Praise for SCROLL
“Artistically, Scroll is one of the most unique books on shelves today…Scroll is deceptively modest, starting with its cover, which depicts a writing lesson that blossoms into one of the most unique stories of the year—one that is as educational as it is entertaining.” — BookPage, Starred Review
