Ai Li a Farm Child in China

Ai Li (I Lee) is a happy little Chinese girl with red apple cheeks, black, shoe button eyes and straight shiny black hair – just like an Oriental doll. She lives in a remote mountainous region of Central China near the Milo River in the Pingjiang District of Hunan Province. Her family consists of Mama, Baba, NaiNai and YeYe (names Chinese children call their parents and grandparents). Baba and YeYe are farmers, NaiNai and Mama often help with the farm work, too.
