The Mountain Man of Music (illustrated kids books, picture book biographies, bedtime stories for kids, Chinese history and culture): Zhu Zaiyu (Once Upon A Time In China)

DID YOU KNOW that music as we know it today, originates from a prince in ancient China?
From a young age, Prince Zaiyu was a genius in mathematics, poetry, astronomy, and of course, music. He discovered that you only need twelve musical tones to make the most beautiful music. Up to this very day, we still use those twelve tonesâ€”just listen to the white and black keys between A to G on a piano.

In The Mountain Man of Music, learn more about the life of this Chinese prince, from the time he was a crying baby to the last days of his life. Without Zaiyu, we probably would not be listening to the music of Mozart, Michael Jackson, and Eminem today!

The simple language and beautiful illustrations make this book a wonderful reader or bedtime story. It is suitable for all ages, but children aged 5-12 years will especially enjoy reading this book.

About the Once Upon A Time In Chinaâ€¦ series
China has a very long history that includes many fascinating stories, but often they are too complex for young children to read. For this series, Jillian Lin has rewritten the most well-known tales in a simple, engaging manner, for children from age five to enjoy. While some stories sound almost like fairytales, they are all based on true historical facts, brought to life with beautiful illustrations. Each book contains the life story of a famous figure in Chinese history, a list of interesting facts, a quiz, and a map.
