Stories for children ages 4 and up

• The Fisherman and the Golden Fish A unique version of the tale of the fisherman and the golden fish, using a technique whereby the plot moves forward via paper folding. Surprising transitions add a new layer to the familiar story.
• The Paper Crane A paper-folding story based on a Chinese folk tale. Yang owns a thriving restaurant, but ever since they built a new road, no one comes anymore. One day, a poor stranger appears. Yang feeds him generously, and in return the stranger gives him a gift that changes his luck – a magical paper bird. A poetic tale about a crane that comes to life through paper folding, inspired by the art of origami.
• The Chinese Cube Chinese stories emerge from a cube which folds, splits, divides and creates new forms and images, inspired by Chinese culture and art. The cube tells of little boy with a “green thumb" and a wise old emperor, the power of painting and skilled Chinese brothers whose exceptional talents end up saving their lives.
