Congratulations to Carole Gerber. Her book, LITTLE RED BAT (Arbordale Publishing, 2010), has been translated and is being sold in China. In the process she learned from a Chinese-American author that bats are symbols of good luck in Chinese culture and she told me that the words for “bat” and “good fortune” are homophones.
