Shu Lin's Grandpa
Matt Goodfellow, Yu Rong
Shu Lin is starting at a new school. She stands alone in the playground and at lunchtime she eats by herself from little boxes of brightly coloured food. ""What’s up with her?"" says Barney.
But when Shu Lin’s grandpa comes to school and shows the class his amazing Chinese paintings, everything changes….
With a stunning double-gatefold spread revealing a beautiful Chinese picture, this uplifting story shows the transformative power of art and imagination in developing cultural understanding and empathy.
Reviews
This book was ok, it shows that being different is ok. It highlights cultural differences.

Good book for getting children to understand why you should care for others.

Shu Lin's Grampa is a example of what happens to some people nowadays who are from different countries around the world and aren't welcomed to their New place as well as the people there.
