Acorn and Katie

Children need friendship as much as they need food. Candace Tong-Li's original stories about the mystery and joy of human and animal friendships reach out to readers in a unique way. Parents will appreciate the honesty and warmth of these enchanting illustrated stories, and children will be captivated by their sensitive imagination. Now nine years old, Tong-Li continues the artistic and literary talent that marked her first book "Baby Crane and Other Animal Tales". "Acorn and Katie", together with "A Pony Friend for Lightning", is the first book of Candace Tong-Li's "Lan Lan and Her Pony Friends Two-in-one Book Series", dedicated to children around the world who are learning Chinese as a second language. It is accompanied by "The Moon Stallion", the second book in the series and complements the independent "Baby Crane and Other Animal Tales". This color picture book includes text in two languages: the original English version and simplified and traditional Chinese.
