riddle

This picture book, imbued with Chinese charm and wisdom, is suitable for children aged 3 to 6. It tells the story of a seven-year-old girl, Xiaoxin, who follows her parents along a winding mountain road to visit her grandmother's grave during Qingming Festival. Along the way, she recalls solving riddles with her grandmother—smoke from cooking stoves, rapeseed flowers, earthworms, bamboo shoots, snails, and sunshine—everyday scenes imbued with love and affection are brought to life one by one... At the end of the day, Xiaoxin returns to her home in the city. Filled with longing and love for her grandmother, she makes a promise to see her again next Qingming Festival. The author weaves the story together with a series of engaging riddles, depicting the touching bond between grandparents and grandchildren, and conveying a hymn to nature and life, inspiring children: the journey of life is a transmission of love, and death is not separation, but a deeper connection between lives. This original picture book skillfully blends the essence of Chinese traditional culture with the theme of life education, guiding children to understand the traditional custom of tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival and, through this ritualistic folk activity, to grasp the wisdom of the Eastern view of life.
