Bird's Nest

In this heartwarming story, a young boy from a Miao minority village in Ghuizhou province, receives a letter from his father, who is in Beijing working on the Bird's Nest. His friends think it must be a home for birds, but he knows it's for the Olympic Games—and he decides to go to Beijing to prove it. His quest combines elements of a fish-out-of-water tale with reflections on the changing face of China and shows the rich diversity of a country often assumed to be culturally homogenous.
