Jin Jin and Rain Wizard is about a little Chinese dragon, named Jin Jin, who loves being able to breathe water—especially during his daily tai chi exercises when he can use his refreshing breath to cool down his friends. But after eating too much rice and wasting food at the rice festival, Jin Jin mysteriously loses his ability to breathe water—prompting his guardians Old Turtle and Crane to send him on a journey back in time to meet the wise Rain Wizard. What Jin Jin learns on his trip through ancient China opens his eyes. He not only learns the importance of not being wasteful but also learns about the vital power of rain. Written and drawn by brother-sister team Grace Chang and Chong Chang, Jin Jin and Rain Wizard can be enjoyed as a humorous fantasy, a morality tale about wastefulness, and even an early lesson about Chinese rice cuisine and mythology. This book serves as a great way to introduce Chinese culture to children of all ages.
