But this delicious little ni n g o has other ideas. "Ai yo I don't think so " it cries, coming to life and escaping.

It's the Chinese New Year, and the Chang Family has only enough rice flour to make one ni n-g o, a special New Year's rice cake, for the entire family to eat. But this delicious little ni n-g o has other ideas. "Ai yo I don't think so " it cries, coming to life and escaping.
Ming, Cong, little Da and their parents chase the ni n-g o all over the village until it runs into a hungry, old woman and sends her tumbling to the ground. Though Da is a small boy, his heart is big enough to share the treat with her, even though that leaves Da's family with nothing to eat for their own celebration. But the Changs' generosity doesn't go unnoticed. When they return home, they find the Kitchen God has left a wonderful surprise for them.
Ying Chang Compestine's heartwarming story conveys an important and poignant message about sharing and compassion. Tungwai Chau's soft and evocative illustrations complete this tender holiday story.

Valuable and accessible information made easy by the authors style
Format: Kindle
The authors offer two books in one, in estate planning and living trusts, which mutually reenforce each other. They also offer education in these intimidating areas in a clear almost outline form so the reader can easily identify topics for each paragraph and determine what to focus on. At a higher level, one of the many quotes stands out as a theme for this book “Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” This book educates, not only for the reader but for the reader’s protection of his or her family and protecting the assets built for that family. The advice goes beyond the actual instruments, legal, business and tax guidance to recommending strategies to work with the professionals required. From the subject to inspiration to undertake these instruments, this is an excellent source of information.
