The Peking ducks in \u003ci\u003eAngus and the Ducks\u003c\/i\u003e so intrigued her that she began researching them. \u003ci\u003eThe Story About Ping\u003c\/i\u003e was the result. She went on to write and illustrate many more children's stories, including \u003ci\u003eBoats on the River\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Jay Hyde Barnum, which was named a Caldecott Honor Book.

Both stories were named Caldecott Honor Books, and reflect his experiences as a traveler in China where he lived for six years. Mr. Wiese died in 1974.","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48107490672877,"sku":"9780140502411","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_556a4687-fd91-4fc6-b9a7-c7527f387a4d.jpg?v=1747544592","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-story-about-ping-9780140502411","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
