Books by Dori Jones Yang

Bridging the gap between cultures and generations

Author’s Statement:

I believe

Cross-cultural understanding is vital for world peace. 

It’s important for people in both countries that the U.S. and China maintain good communication and carefully manage their relations.

Books can help you get to know people in other countries and appreciate their values and lives. 

American children benefit from diverse books about kids from other countries and backgrounds.  

We can become wiser by seeking wisdom in older people and those from other religions and cultures.  

A wise and admirable company is one that aims to do well while doing good. 

Good, clear writing can bridge the gap between ordinary readers and even complex subjects.
