Best Books and Films for Families with Children from China

Books, Panda Items & Other Favorites

Permit me to stray a little off-topic here (although Freegal does have a pretty wide selection of Chinese traditional music as well as pop music--C-Pop they call it.)

My husband & I decided to adopt a girl from China 14 years ago, and since then I've read everything I could about China--histories, novels, memoirs. This site lists the best things I've found, all the way from picture books for the little ones to steampunk novels for teens. I have quite a few things geared towards moms & dads, too.

So, if you know anyone with children from China, these books & DVD's (I've thrown in a few cute panda items & other things, too) would make great gift ideas.

Gift Ideas for Families with Children from China

Freegal has all kinds of music, including traditional Chinese music and C-Pop.  You can browse all the genres. Some pretty amazing stuff.

This picture is from a site I've been working on from months. I'm a book and movie person as well as a music person. And, I have a daughter from China.

So, I decided to put together a list of all the best things I've read and watched and listened to about China and adoption. I've got some pretty cute panda stuff, too. And some Asian snacks.  My daughter loves the sodas and the pocky sticks.

So, take a look. It's always nice to have your holiday shopping done early.
