We Saw China

About the Book

I had two beautiful Chinese dolls that were so precious to me! They had glazed porcelain faces and wore red satin embroidered pajamas decorated with peacocks and blossoms with mandarin collars tied with ribbons. My sister and I wanted to visit China to see where the dolls were made. We imagined we could get there if only we saw China.
