{"product_id":"powerful-like-a-dragon","title":"Powerful Like a Dragon","description":"In this life-affirming picture book, acclaimed author Christopher Cheng weaves the true story of his family’s search for safety in the midst of war, demonstrating the strength of children in the face of the impossible.\n\nYoung Shu Lok didn’t know there was a war until it appeared on his doorstep.\n\nOvernight, everything changes. His parents send him away, tucking him into a basket alongside his cousins to be carried to safety.\n\nThey travel in search of a place the war does not reach, over cloud-wreathed clifftops, and through cold, hungry nights where a rocky bed and cold bean curd cake are all that await him.\n\nBut Shu Lok comes to find that war does not define him. He remembers his parents’ words: be powerful like a dragon. Even if food and comfort are scarce, strength, resilience, and kindness can always be found. Even in the harshest times, dragons can learn to fly.\n\nBased on author Christopher Cheng’s true family story and with breathtaking, sweeping illustrations by Jacqueline Tam, Powerful Like a Dragon is an honest and heartfelt invitation into one child’s experience during the Imperial Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250829399\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1250829399.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tam, Jacqueline|Cheng, Christopher\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in like new condition.
