Little Leap Forward
It’s the summer of 1966 and Mao Zedong’s communist regime is about to move to a new level. Little Leap Forward lives in Beijing, with his mother and siblings. Little Leap loves to play the flute and fly kites. One day, Little Leap Forward and his best friend capture a small yellow bird. Little Leap wants her to sing with him as he plays his flute – but she remains quiet in her cage. What will Little Leap do – persist with his experiment or set her free?
Little Leap Forward’s touching story is based on author Guo Yue’s childhood experiences during the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in China. Sensitive yet gentle enough for young readers, this book offers many insights into one child’s life and dreams in a difficult time.
