Around the world one book at a time

Today was the World Book Fair at Rhiannon's school. Everyone had to bring a book that had to do with another country and wear an outfit to go with the book. I had totally forgotten about this ordeal until the night before when our neighbor and friend Sarah rang to remind me about it. Thank you Sarah!
Fortunately we had a few books to choose from and we could have gone with any of the hundred of Welsh books we have, but instead we found a story about a Cypress tree in China and so Rhiannon wore her Chinese dress. This was actually the first time she has worn it and I really wanted her to do so because it is very special: our former neighbor Beate (from when we lived in Norway) brought it for Rhiannon when she went over to adopt Yasmin. Rhiannon wasn't so keen on wearing it and was embarrassed at first, but by the end of the day I think she was happy that she wore it because of all the compliments she received. Anyway, here she is looking skeptically and cautiously around the corner of the school building at all the other kids in their costumes.
