Growing Up under a Red Flag

Growing Up under a Red Flag: A Memoir of Surviving the Chinese Cultural Revolution by Ying Chang Compestine

A memoir in picture book form. Not for very young children -- I would recommend knowing your child and being prepared for questions. It hits the elements a child would see, violence, her father's arrest and her mother's depression, denunciations, lack of food, burning things to hide them, and more.
