Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bud and Bamboo
Bud was a Chinese boy. His father had named him Bud because it meant something that grows; a bud grows to be a ?ower. The boy's father hoped that his son would grow to be a wise man, and hold high Office in China, his beloved country, to the honor of the family name.
One day, when Bud was nine years old, his father called him. Come, Bud, he said, you are old enough now to have your hair shaved off, all except one long braid at the back, which you may tie with a blue ribbon.
