Created by the famous children’s book writer Huang Xiaoheng, this book is a picture book of traditional cultural stories suitable for children aged 3--8 years old. The protagonist of the story, Han Sheng, was born in Canada, and his grandfather is coming to Vancouver to reunite with their family. Grandpa came to Vancouver from Xiaoyi City, Shanxi Province, with shadow puppets hanging in the backyard, attracting onlookers from neighbors, but Han Sheng hid from the side and observed from afar. From resistance to curiosity, from cautious touch to fascination with shadow puppetry, Han Sheng gradually unguarded and opened his heart to his grandfather and the shadow puppet world behind him.
