Sail the world with Chinese admiral Zheng He, one of the greatest explorers in world history. What wonders will you discover on his quest to befriend nations?

Between the years 1405 and 1431, Chinese admiral Zheng He led the greatest naval fleet the world had ever seen on treasure-seeking voyages. A brilliant, peace-loving man, He befriended and traded with people as far as the Swahili Coast of eastern Africa--bringing a message of friendship and peace between China and the other countries of the world. Through his leadership, these expeditions extended China's influence, making China the first world superpower.

In this account of Zheng He's amazing life, award-winning author and illustrator Demi recreates the grandeur and excitement of these naval voyages with her signature detailed artwork. She introduces readers to this larger-than-life figure who dreamed of a world of intellectual growth, religious tolerance, and everlasting, worldwide peace.
