Dear publishers,


Today I'd like to share a very interesting picture book about a panda who invents 100 ways to meet its companions across a valley.


This book is available in two versions: poetic and concise. With two types of illustrations that convey different visions.


The final cover and pdf is being edited and will be ready for review soon.


Sample pages are now available.

If you would like to read it and/or sign up for the final pdf, just let me know.


I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Kris

100 Ways to Cross the Valley

About the book

A panda invents 100 ways to meet its companions across a valley, such as build a bridge with an elephant's trunk, fly over on the back of a goose, blow a big bubble and float over together, upload and download itself as a network file from one end to the other and among others.


It is a whimsical way to break the inertia, invite readers to play in their imagination and create something different in their play.


Editors’ notes:

In 100 Ways to Cross the Valley, conventional methods can help children understand the world, whereas imaginative and abstract methods foster creative and design thinking in children.


Children can learn to identify and establish reasonable solutions through the use of creative picture books that are interactive and imaginative.


The two versions have distinct characteristics; the poetic version is full of artistic ideas, while the concise version is lively and lovely.

I would like to meet you online :)

The 2022 Frankfurt Book Fair will be held in October, providing an exciting opportunity to meet you in person. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing Covids cases and international flight regulations in China, I have decided not to attend this year and will conduct all meetings online, via Zoom or Google Meets. I believe it will be beneficial for us to get to know each other and discuss potential projects.


Feel free to share some times that you're available, or you can also pick from my Calendly if it's easier.

All best from Kris
