Lee doesn’t know where his parents' country is and feels a sense of loss and confusion. In a tender moment, JJ attempts to show Lee their home countries on the map, highlighting the vast deserts of Australia, the beautiful national parks of Bangladesh, and the immense Great Wall of China. However, Lee’s parents' country is nowhere to be found on the map. This realisation prompts JJ and Lee to understand that not all places are represented on traditional maps, especially those lost to conflict and change. Lee's poignant story of his parents' homeland, which had water, houses, animals, and playgrounds that disappeared, underscores the transient nature of maps and the histories they represent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetermined to create something new and meaningful, JJ suggests drawing a new map. With the help of their teacher, Miss Young, and their classmates, JJ and Lee gather papers and markers to start their creative project. Each child contributes drawings of their homes and favourite places, from Clare’s family house in the Netherlands to Luke’s townhouse and pizza. Lee sketches a playground and an old house, while JJ adds a treehouse next to a botanic garden. Together, they assemble their drawings into a unique map that reflects their diverse backgrounds and shared experiences. This new map, unlike any other, becomes a symbol of their unity and creativity. The children proudly hold up their new map, knowing that it represents their identity and no one can take it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46694514884844,"sku":"9781761112362","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/424773482815.jpg?v=1753592495"},{"product_id":"the-festival-of-ice-and-snow-by-angie-cui-9780702269264","title":"The Festival of Ice and Snow","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the author's treasured childhood memories of attending the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival in China, this bilingual picture book is a spectacular celebration of family, cultural traditions and wintertime splendour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery year, Grandpa takes us to the \u003cem\u003eFestival of Ice and Snow\u003c\/em\u003e—and every year, I can't wait!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo children and their beloved grandpa experience the wonder of Harbin's Ice and Snow World, an enchanting place filled with super slides, tasty treats and huge ice sculptures illuminated by multicoloured lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold in English and simplified Chinese, this picture book captures the fun of the winter festival and spending time with loved ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47638502146284,"sku":"9780702269264","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780702269264-the-festival-of-ice-and-snow.jpg?v=1779072848"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/angie-cui.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
