A widow spent all of her rice money on a painting
she embroidered it and it took her eight years
when she finished, the embroidery flew out the window
The daughters of the Sea King found it and tried to copy it
the widow’s son went to the Sea King’s palace and took it back
the widow spread the embroidery over her home and it came to life

So far in When the Sea Turned to Silver, Pinmei and Yishan met Lady Meng and are going to go to the City of Bright Moonlight on Lady Meng’s horse, BaiMa. It will be very hard to get there because everything is frozen and it is snowing heavily. They want to get there because the emperor wants a Luminous Stone and they think it might be there. I can’t wait to read more!

The pillars of the sky collapsed and flooded the earth
Sea demons emerged and ate the living
Nuwa, a goddess with the tail of a fish, came down to earth to help everyone
She slew a giant turtle and used its legs to hold up the sky
She gathered five stones of different colors
She couldn’t find one big enough for the last one so she put herself in it

the new king was going to marry the emperor’s daughter
he asked for the paper from the tiger’s mouth as a wedding gift
when he studied the paper he thought it was useless at first
he saw words appearing and studied them
he redirected the destructive river near his city so it helped it
he became wise and famous and his city grew and became wealthy

My class is reading When the Sea Turned to Silver by Grace Lin. Pinmei lives on a mountain in China with her grandmother, Amah. Their friend, Yishan, lives higher up the mountain. The Emperor, the Tiger Emperor, wants a Luminous Stone, but nobody knows what it is or how to get it. I can’t wait to read more!
