By: Robert Diamond Nov. 28, 2013
China is an ancient nation with a culture and society that extends back thousands of years. Today it is a modernizing industrial powerhouse boasting the second-largest economy in the world, an abundance of natural resources and over 1.3 billion people. The time is now to start learning more about the cryptic land that is already significantly influencing the world.
Tong's historically accurate and wonderfully illustrated stories introduce young readers to Chinese history, culture, inventions, monuments, festivals, important people and more. The series is designed to capture the attention of early readers and the folks they are reading to. Worded with little ones in mind, his series provides enough educational nutrition to satisfy all ages. From the million man-year project in the Great Wall to the 10,000 terracotta soldiers buried with China's first emperor, young readers will explore the history of a nation that had the largest empire in the history of the world, the largest navy ever assembled still to this day, more ancient inventions than people know and the greatest economy on the planet once before just 200 years ago. Tong brings China to life for children around the world as they explore the interesting and exotic land that calls itself "The Central Kingdom." His first three books are now available on Amazon.com and are sure to make great gifts for the holidays. The complete seven-book series is due out by summer.Tommy Tong has been an advocate for East-West understanding for over 30 years. After serving his country in elite combat units, Tong got his MBA in international business with the intent of opening doorways through commerce instead. Since then, he has risen through the executive ranks in multinational environments on four continents across many industries. He has studied and taught martial arts for over three decades, launched a number of his own businesses, commissioned officers, promoted black belts, wedded couples, studied seven languages, written songs, mentored, taught, spoken to and performed for thousands. Tong lived in China for many years and initiated this book series with a successful Kickstarter.com campaign so he would have some great books on China to read his own kids. He now shares his wisdom with those he cherishes most, the children of the world.
