Special Workshop with the China Insitute in America on July 10 at 4:00PM!

Linden Tree is honored to be selected by the oldest organization in the United States to promote China/U.S. cross-cultural education to present "The Palace is Like a Big Forest" on Friday, July 10, from 4 to 5 in the afternoon.

In this interactive workshop, tied to the book This is the Greatest Place!, children ages 5-10 will learn about the largest wooden architectural structure and largest enclosed palace in the world: the Forbidden City in Beijing China. Where is it? What was it used for? How was it built?

Students will learn how the inspiration for building the palace came from nature and they will have the chance to design their own palace. Through additional games, activities, and an animated video, children will learn not only how nature influenced and inspires Chinese culture and the building of the Forbidden City, but how nature can inspire and nurture us in our daily lives.

RSVP for this FREE event at info@lindentreebooks.com or 650-949-3390.
