Book ID/图书代码： 06540511B45643

English Summary/英文概要： When the warrior Chang challenges young Fu to a duel, Fu panics. His only hope is that the Master will train him, just as he’s trained all the young warriors of the village. But instead of teaching Fu to fight, the Master teaches him…to pour tea. Fu learns purpose, flow and patience in the process, but will it be enough to defeat the mighty Chang?
With his signature breathtaking art, John Rocco has created a modern parable full of adventure, heart, humor, and a gentle message about the importance of focus and finding joy in simple tasks.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 當士兵Chang（常）向年輕的Fu（福）發出決鬥的挑戰時，福慌了。他唯一的希望就是長官能訓練他，就像他訓練村裡的其他年輕戰士一樣。但長官不是教福去打仗，而是教他……如何泡茶。福在這個過程學到了意志，行雲流水和耐心，但那些所學足以擊敗強大的常嗎？
運用自己驚人的藝術天賦，John Rocco創作了富於現代寓意的的冒險，心靈，詼諧的故事，溫柔地傳遞出一個關於人生意義和在簡單中尋找快樂的啟示。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：When young Fu inadvertently hits a warrior with a clump of mud, the warrior challenges him to a duel. Terrified, Fu grabs his father’s sword and seeks the advice of “the Master,” who has trained “all the great warriors.” Instead of sword fighting and martial arts, however, the Master instructs Fu in pouring tea, stressing the importance of purpose, patience, and flow. The duel is averted when the warrior is impressed by Fu’s exquisite tea ceremony. Masterful illustrations reveal lush landscapes, an august Master, and dreamy settings well suited for a solemn tea ceremony. Fu’s loyal pet duck, an expressive sidekick, adds a light touch to the formality and surreal images. Children anticipating Jackie Chan–like action may be disappointed, but older kids and adults will enjoy the artful irony and New Age message delivered in this elegant picture book. Grades 3-5. --Linda Perkins
