"Let's go to Japan!" is an introductory book on Japanese history with many wonderful pictures and interesting facts about Japan’s history, emperors, samurai and important events. Did you know Musashi is the most famous swordsman in Japanese history? Or, that the Meiji restoration drove the last samurai and shogun from power? This historically accurate book extends the series "China for Children" to an important neighbor in Asia. It is designed to capture the attention of early readers and the parents they are reading with. Worded with little people in mind, the early reader series provides enough nutritious substance to satisfy all ages. Come, let’s learn interesting ancient Japan facts, see some Shinto shrines and find out how a tsunami prevented the Mongolian invasion! Tommy Tong’s epic children’s book series shares ancient China for kids (and her important Asian neighbors) in schools, living rooms and libraries around the world. The series highlights important Chinese, Korean and Japanese facts and historical events from the early days of Asian civilization to the present. His books are even used to teach Asian kids English as they learn about their own colorful history and lineage. Did you know that the Chinese New Year celebration starts with the Spring Festival on the Chinese Lunar New year, involves hundreds of tons of fireworks, millions of lion dances, dragon parades and plenty of traditional Chinese food? The party lasts for two weeks and ends with a Lantern Festival in every community. And who better to share the tales of Marco Polo and Kublai Khan for kids? Isn’t it time to teach your young ones a little something about the history of Asia?

"Genghis Goes to China" is a pretty straight forward Mongolian version of 'I came, I saw, I conquered" except that Genghis had a much more colorful life than Julius Caesar. Young Temujin was sent away at age 9, left homeless shortly after, learned to hunt and hide by 10, was kidnapped & enslaved by 12, escaped & married by 16, had his wife kidnapped by a bully-king, borrowed 20,000 cavalry from a buddy and got her back all before reaching the legal drinking age. No wonder the lad had time to become one of the world's greatest conquerors. Tommy brings his storytelling of Genghis Khan and his grandson Kublai Khan for kids to a country near you!
