Everyone agrees that an entertaining celebration needs fireworks. But do you know how they came to be?
The Discovery of Fireworks and Gunpowder is the first English children's book on these topics.
Dao is an adorable red panda who can travel back in time and place! He befriends the curious kids Ethan and Emma and transports them in the blink of an eye to Asia. Together they (and appreciative readers) have fun discovering how some very cool creations were invented there. If only every school field trip was like this!
In this sequel, Ethan and Emma follow the sound of firecrackers to Chinatown. Dao appears to magically guides them back in time to discover how gunpowder was invented! Then they zip back to the present to see how fireworks have enlivened celebrations around the world.
