Summary: This book contains a single line of prose on each page accompanied by a striking visual image of the artist's interpretation of what China looks like to him. The pages also contain different Chinese symbols for some of the words that are contained within the prose.
Applications for Teaching: This would be a great book to show students an example of a different type of poetry. This would also be a wonderful multicultural book to use to introduce students to the Chinese culture, especially since it contains some of the Chinese symbols for words contained within the prose.
