HarperCollins to Purchase Chinese Best Seller

HarperCollins has announced that in conjunction with the Olympics in Beijing, they will be publishing a series by Yang Hongying, Chinese bestselling author of children's books.  I am always happy to see books from other countries being brought into the U.S.  I think that they serve as real windows into a culture, especially when they are contemporary stories.  So often we view other cultures through books set in the past.  This should be a refreshing change.
