has spent all night constructing to her plans. Fleur de Lotus undertakes to raise money for her dream, a trip to China, homeland of her deceased
mother. Will this enterprising young girl and her father make it all the way to the land of her maternal ancestors? Easy to read early novel with images on all pages.
