Two Boston Public Schools teachers are traveling to Melaka, Malaysia to present at an
international conference on the Chinese explorer
Zheng He.
Alicia Carroll and
Lucy Montgomery will speak about their children's book,
Malindi's Journey: An African Giraffe Encounters China.
Malindi's Journey tells the story of the giraffe's journey from Malindi (Swahili coast) to
China, to be presented to the Yong-Le Emperor by Zheng He. Following the conference, Ms. Carroll and Ms. Montgomery will travel to Singapore and Nanjing, visiting cultural and historical sites and learning more about Zheng He. Their three-week trip is funded by a
Fund for Teachers grant, and you can read more about it on their
blog.
