New full-colour Asian Stories are contemporary tales set across Asia and the Pacific. Students follow characters their own age in their local environments – at school, at home, in the village, visiting local landmarks – so they can observe everyday life in another culture. How are their lives different to mine? Who works in their families and how? What are THEIR everyday challenges?
Aiko has a problem: she wants to learn traditional Japanese stick and sword fighting. But her mother thinks it’s not ‘ladylike’. Aiko’s hundreds of paper wishes don’t seem to work – until she visits the fortune teller in her favourite Kyoto temple.
