Summary: |

| The author has demythologized the figure of Confucius, depicting him as a very human, vulnerable and wise man. In a postscript, the author explains the origin and process of the book, providing resources and an index of Confucian sayings. The illustrations are stunning. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| As they read, learners might want to develop a timeline of the events of Confucius' life. Because Confucius is portrayed in such loving detail, students can write a character sketch. They could choose a favorite saying, explain what it means to them, and why they chose it. The resources section of the book offers Internet sites for more information. | |
