Laibao’s Quest for a Bride. A touching traditional Chinese Folktale for children. It will warm your hearts and lift your spirits! This is the type of “soul food” I love to feed my children.

I love this story so much, I used it to create a homemade Chinese fairy tale puppet show for my daughter Nunu’s (not her real name) 8th birthday in November 2012. Click on this picture below to see tons of photos of the show and puppet.
