Animal Clinic: In Search of Tradition, Starting with Chinese Medicine
"Animal Clinic: In Search of Tradition, Starting with Chinese Medicine" is a charming picture book steeped in Hong Kong nostalgia. Through Jujube's and Longan's adventures in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, it introduces readers to less common traditions and objects of Chinese medicine, like Chinese medicine cabinets, herbal pots, and traditional shop features such as stone tiles and ceiling fans. With vibrant illustrations perfect for children and parents reading together, the author, through an artistic lens captures the unique allure of Hong Kong's traditional shops, with a view of sparking interests and appreciation among young readers. Towards the end of the story, via the changing of the traditional clinic to a new one, the story shows traditions live on in memory. The story celebrates disappearing cultures, and the morphing of old cultures into new ones.
