故事 Gùshi The story

Yuan-Yuan arrives at Grandma's house hopping and giggling. But the nappy is bulky and tight, and something doesn't feel right.

Grandma smiles and says it plainly: 圓圓,去上廁所吧! So Yuan-Yuan tries. Sits. Waits. Nothing happens. Tries again later — and this time, it works.

There's no scolding when nothing comes, and no big fuss when it finally does. Just a grandmother clapping, warm water for washing paws, and a bowl of sweet tangyuan.

Potty training is a milestone that a lot of books turn into a performance. This one keeps it small, warm, and doable.

Every line of the story appears three ways, stacked in the same place on every spread. Traditional Chinese for the child learning characters, Pinyin for the parent who speaks Mandarin but reads it slowly, English for everyone else at the table.

The Chinese is written first, in the author's mother tongue, and the English is written to match it — not translated after the fact. Both read like they were meant to be read aloud.

Traditional characters with Pinyin, not Zhuyin — so it works for families across the Chinese-speaking world, not just Taiwan.
