Morning with Grandpa, A

Spirited young Mei Mei watches Grandpa as he performs tai chi in the garden, and later he explains tai chi to her and demonstrates some positions for her to try, but Mei Mei, with her energy and enthusiasm, turns tai chi from slow and thoughtful into fun. In return, Mei Mei shows Grandpa some of the yoga positions she has learned at school and he tries his best to copy her poses. This simple yet powerful story, with its clear and colourful illustrations, shows the loving connection between Mei Mei and Grandpa. Suitable for read-aloud and discussion about family cultures and traditions, family bonds, and the importance of family for K-3.
