Description: Yu'er and her grandpa live in a small neighborhood in Beijing; and it's full of big personalities. There's a story around every corner, and each day has a hint of magic.  In one tale, Yu'er wants to swim in the Special Olympics, a sports competition for people with disabilities. But she and her grandpa don't have a pool! In another story, a friend takes Yu'er to a wild place full of musical insects. Later, Yu'er hears a special story about her grandparents. And in the final story, Yu'er and her grandpa show a cranky painter the sweet side of life.
