Great Uncle Mouse Woke Up Late
by Ye Guangqin
This book tells the growth story of little girl Yaya, who grew up in the Summer Palace. Yaya ran around in the vast Summer Palace, discovering the world with curiosity. Her eyes are full of happiness and grief, joy and anger…Along with Uncle Mouse, she walked her pet—turtle; visited old woman Mrs. Song living outside the North Palace; composed her own story by the river bank; counted birds with rural kid, Lao duo; pursued the long-lasting charm of classical culture with Meizi from Southern China; and saved the lives of the drowner in Kunming Lake…Innocent childhood story with the exuberant vitality is like the old Beijing nursery rhyme
