The Magic Bus to Asian Folktales
When the kids get on the old school bus to go home, the mysterious new bus driver treats them to a whole series of Asian folktales. With each story he tells, the bus transforms into a gateway through time and culture, transporting the children into the heart of vibrant Asian folktales. From a Chinese boy whose honesty leads to triumph, to a Hmong tale of two brothers and a magical tree, to a fearless Filipina who takes on bandits to honor her father, each tale is brought to life with music, movement, and heart. This lively musical celebrates the power of storytelling and the richness of Asian heritage.
