Just FYI: A three book YA series I wrote on physics, published by the Smithsonian, has been translated into Chinese. It has won two major education awards in Shanghai. My daughter was visiting China and went to see the publisher, they took her to lunch and she had a great time. Anyway, the vibes I get from China regarding education are impressive. A US history I wrote was under contract with the same Chinese publisher and in the process of being translated into Chinese (imagine Chinese children reading about Abe Lincoln). That project seems to have come to a halt, which I guess is indicitive of something.
P.S. I love your very informative column. joy hakim
Good one, Karen!
