| The Story A dynamite book for children of all ages, Grandpa’s Treasure Box is a story about friendship, loyalty and compassion. The story promotes multicultural learning through delightful Asian-American characters; and introduces readers to Chinese and Tibetan symbolism and mythology. Bobo and Tashi are twin sisters who live with their parents in San Francisco. When their grandparents come for visits, they tell stories of their travels around the world and bring the twins lovely presents. This time, grandpa brings the twins a very special present — a beautiful treasure box from China. When Bobo and Tashi go to sleep one night they are awakened by a noise coming from inside the box. They open the box and discover an enchanted land protected by a benevolent dragon, who asks the twins to help him save his village and a young boy Tong-Tong from an evil lord. With the aid of the dragon and their animal friends, a bear and a bunny, Bobo and Tashi set out on the adventure of a lifetime...
The Author Inspired by her love of storytelling, her rich Chinese heritage and her twin nieces, Pauline Tsui created the Precious Pollabies® - Bobo, Tashi, and their animal companions, to promote multicultural understanding and nurture creativity. Pauline studied Chinese brush painting as a child in Hong Kong; experimented with techniques of drawing and oil painting in her college years; and was trained in illustration of textiles and fashion design. She has lived many lives as a businesswoman, fashion industry executive, designer and art teacher. Having recently finished a three-year docent training program at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Pauline now splits her time between passing on her knowledge of Asian art and culture and developing the Precious Pollabies® brand. Grandpa’s Treasure Box is her first book.
