Take Chinese learning outdoors with My Moon Walk, a foldable mini book designed to help children slow down, look up, and explore the night with curiosity.
Bring the little book along on an evening walk and use the simple bilingual prompts to observe the moon and the world around you. Children can look at the moon’s shape and color, search for clouds and stars, listen to nighttime sounds, feel the evening air, and draw something they discovered along the way.
It’s a simple way to connect Chinese with a real experience—because sometimes the most memorable learning happens when we step outside and notice what’s around us.

- Encourages curiosity and observation of the natural world
