In English and Mandarin Chinese, Belle Yang's bilingual board books celebrate the natural world with simple concepts and beautiful, bold illustrations. Wet weather is coming -- whoosh! As rain falls like soybeans -- ping ping, pang pang -- Hedgehog runs quickly --pitter patter. Soon he will be safe and warm with Mama -- purr purr. What other sounds does he hear along the way? Tonal marks used in the book are explained in a final spread, along with a pinyin translation of the Chinese characters.
