- "The ancient Chinese believed that dragons lived deep in the waters and when they got angry they wreaked havoc, but they were usually well-meaning."
- "In ancient times, the Chinese saw the dragon as both a protector and a threat, able to bring on rain or cause droughts. To honor this powerful creature, people created long narrow boats that they raced in an annual rainmaking festival. From the wearing of fragrant pouches, to the consumption of rice dumplings, to thrilling boat races, the dragon boat festival of today is a celebration of Chinese traditions all over the world. Arlene Chan, a respected librarian and an experienced dragon boat racer, explores the origins of the festival, it's customs, and the races themselves. Beautifully detailed illustrations by Song Nan Zhang let you experience the beauty and energy of this ancient festival."
- "Explores the origins of the Chinese dragon boat festival, its customs, and the races themselves, which today celebrate the cultural heritage of the Chinese traditions."
