"A beautiful introduction to one of the traditional peoples of China and a fun read from cover to cover... Unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 6-8."—Midwest Book Review“Stunningly illustrated...especially interesting as it shows just how vast and diverse other lands and countries are as well as showing the similarities formed around specific habitats, in this case boreal forests. The book is simply but beautifully written and the illustrations are exquisite, a true joy to peruse...an excellent choice...to add to units studying other countries, to show the diversity they encompass...to use in nature study or in talking about how we care for the earth.”—Flying Off My Bookshelf"Lyrical words and soft, delicate illustrations vividly bring the landscape to life... This educational, calming story inspires deep respect for nature and all who inhabit it. A fitting story for readers who enjoy the works of Oliver Jeffers and Nicola I. Campbell."—BooklistA Junior Library Guild Selection"An example of environmental stewardship in action ... gentle, appealingly straightforward narration sets a steady pace that reflects the story’s theme of patience ...
