When the great zemie Yocahu visited the Tainans long ago, he taught them to live in peace and promised to return one day. So when Columbus's caravels appear on the Caribbean, the Tainans believe that Yocahu has returned. But the Europeans are set on conquest. Every time they forced a village to accept Christianity at sword-point, they lost touch with their own god. It's not until the crippled son of a Taino chief befriends a cabin boy on Columbus's ship that the cultures merge. Among forcible pacification and genocide, the boys seek the Tainan principles of peace and love, as Sons of Yocahu.

When Christopher Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola, he discovered the magnificent culture of the Tainan people - a people who believed in peace, because of their great zemie, Yocahu. Many of the arriving Europeans brought with them brutal assumptions of superiority. Would the Taino tradition of peace be destroyed by that brutality? Or would the Europeans who claimed to worship the "Prince of Peace" learn from those they conquered? The answers depend not on the culture, but on the quality of the individual Sons of Yocahu.

Do children need to be developmentally ready to know colors in Chinese? We, of the STUPENDOUS COLORS method, wonder about this, for this method taught three colors to a baby who was just five months old, and babies and toddlers pick up all kinds of languages quickly. This book is designed to teach 15 colors to toddlers in five days— including chartreuse and gold, which are not easy to learn. JIAO BAO BAO SHI YANSE is the Chinese version of STUPENDOUS COLORS that was originally created in English. It is devised to teach the same colors as in STUPENDOUS COLORS to any toddler in Chinese, whether or not they are Chinese speaking —while it also introduces Chinese words to them in both simplified characters and pinyin. This method of teaching colors has been tested on 300 preschoolers, who absolutely loved it and showed great enthusiasm for it. Since STUPENDOUS COLORS has been a favorite among many toddlers, who amazed people by how many colors they knew, JIAO BAO BAO SHI YANSE— its Chinese version— may do the same with your children, who may even pick up Chinese words, besides the names of colors.

Based on introducing colors inductively, The Absolutely Stupendous Colors is the clearest, most straight-forward, non-pressuring method ever created to teach babies and toddlers colors. Even a five-month-old child could differentiate three colors from this method. Parents are amazed that besides learning colors, their children also began to recognize the words for them. And friends and relatives are impressed that their children know so many colors--including chartreuse and gold.This book is designed by a mother whose children were reading fluently by kindergarten. She began teaching each of her seven children from the cradle. As a result of early learning, today, several of them are among the highest ranking academics in this world. And to think--It all began from simple, fun activities, such as what's in this book!
