While looking through the book suggestions on the site for early history, it only covers, Greece, Rome and Egypt. I want to include ancient China and some other areas, but wondered if anyone had suggestions for living books for these ares?

Thanks

Following. Wish I had some good suggestions, but I don’t. Having four Chinese children it is going to be imparitive. Hope some of you have some good suggestions. ~April

I haven’t used it, but Sonlight has an entire core dedicated to non western cultures. That may give ideas.

The author Eleanor Frances Lattimore wrote Little Pear, Willow Tree Village , and other books set in China. She was American, but her father worked in China. She was born in China in the early 1900s and grew up there, but moved to the United States as a young adult.
