About the Once Upon A Time In China… series
China has a very long history that includes many fascinating stories, but often they are too complex for young children to read. For this series, Jillian Lin has rewritten the most well-known tales in a simple, engaging manner, for children from age five to enjoy. While some stories sound almost like fairytales, they are all based on true historical facts, brought to life with beautiful illustrations. Each book contains the life story of a famous figure in Chinese history, a list of interesting facts, a quiz, and a map.

About the author

Hi! I’m Jillian, the author of children’s books about the history and culture of China, even though I live all the way Down Under.
I’m also a mother of two, and my children are the main reason I started writing books. When they were still little, I had to delve into my Chinese roots for a family reunion. That’s when I stumbled on the most amazing stories about the emperors, warriors, artists, and inventors that make up the long and colorful culture and history of China.
Inspired, I decided to bring these stories to life, so that my kids could learn more about their Chinese heritage. No dates, no dry details—just interesting stories that they could enjoy and hopefully, learn a fact or two in the process. Luckily, they liked them so much that they encouraged me to share my stories with the world.
Visit my website www.jillianlin.com to get a free e-book and find out more about my book series ‘Heroes of China’ (3-6 years), ‘Once Upon A Time In China’ (6-12 years) and 'Fun Festivals' (3-6 years). I hope you’ll enjoy reading them!

- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017As an adoptive mama to two children from China, I think this series is fantastic to teach my children about their birth culture. My daughter is particularly fascinated by Wu Ze Tian, and this is a perfect introduction!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017nothing special really.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017This short historical book gives children a nice introduction to the only female emperor in China. It paints a realistic picture of a strong, intelligent leader. After the “story”, it gives historical facts and even a little quiz. I recommend the book for young readers or older ones who want a simple introduction to a piece of Chinese history.
