The Emperor's Seed is the first book in the Ling's Tales series. The emperor of ancient China needs to choose a successor, so he gives every child in the kingdom a seed and a challenge: grow the finest plant and bring it back to the palace in the spring.
It is a gentle story about honesty and courage, retold from a classic Chinese folktale and illustrated in full colour.
The full picture book is free to read online, page by page, in English with Simplified Chinese and Pinyin. Printed copies are available on Amazon.
