Book Synopsis



The Great Race: The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac

Step into an ancient world of courage, cunning, and a race that changed time forever. Long ago in the heart of China, the Buddha called a great race, one that would determine which twelve animals would forever mark the passage of years. From the daring tiger to the clever rat, from the galloping horse to the wise dragon-creatures of every kind competed across wild rivers, fierce competition, and enduring friendships.

Through vivid imagery and timeless charm, The Great Race retells this beloved legend with rich visuals and poetic language. Young readers will journey alongside the animals, feel their triumphs and struggles, and discover why each year celebrates the spirit, cleverness, and legacy of an animal who earned its place among the stars. Perfect for children ages 4-10, families and classrooms alike. Celebrate courage, tradition, and wisdom in a story that bridges culture, history, and imagination
