A grain of rice

I know that I have a picture book by the same name and for years I would confuse them, this is the first time I have ever actually read this little chapter book. We sat down to read a little bit and my son (Rascal 6.5) kept asking for more and more until we had read the entire little book in one sitting. This was a great follow-up to our adventures in exploring China that we have started with Beautiful Feet Books Around the World in Picture Books, Part 1. We read this on the recommendations of Sonlight Curriculum Kindergarten 2020 Exploring American History. No, this is not American History, but it is the perfect age to read and experience. It is also on several other reading lists I follow. It was moved from Sonlight A to Sonlight Kindergarten in 2020. We own a paperback copy.
