Step into an Ancient World-Through the Eyes of a Child
Liangliang's World of Pottery invites young readers on a beautifully illustrated journey back more than 5,000 years to the Liangzhu Kingdom, one of the earliest civilizations in China. Guided by Liangliang, a curious and imaginative girl from a riverside village, children discover how pottery was made, how people lived, and how art, food, and belief shaped daily life in this remarkable ancient society.
Developed by the Liangzhu Museum and based on real archaeological discoveries, this nonfiction picture book blends storytelling with science, transforming museum knowledge into an engaging, child-friendly narrative. From shaping clay on a potter's wheel to preparing royal feast vessels and decoding mysterious symbols carved into pottery, each chapter brings history to life with warmth, clarity, and wonder.
Richly illustrated and carefully translated for an international audience, this English edition preserves both the accuracy and spirit of the original Chinese publication. It introduces children to key concepts such as early agriculture, craftsmanship, ritual objects, and archaeological excavation-making complex ideas accessible without sacrificing authenticity.
