Read Around the World: China Unit

This post may contain affiliate links.

With Chinese New Year this week, I though it would be fitting to share another Read Around the World unit, this time it is focused on China!  I have a special love for China because my Dad works over there on a regular basis and is always teaching me amazing things about the country and bringing us home treasures. My sister also lived there for a few years. Someday it will be my turn to visit & I cannot wait!
