Book Description from the Front Cover Flap
Ed Young's spare prose, as lovely as a rice-paper painting, describes in measured detail the beautiful and mystical land that the author so clearly loves. The unique format and gorgeous paper-collage illustrations combine to convey the many aspects of china and form a poetic picture of the land's grace, depth, and majesty. It is a tour de force from one of the foremost creators of illustrated books.
Background on Ed Young
Ed Young was born in Tientsin, China, grew up in Shanghai, and later moved to Hong and finally to the United States, where he lives today with his wife and two young daughters. He has illustrated more than eighty children's books (some of which he has also written), and his work has received many awards, including a Caldecott Medal and two Caldecott Honors. Much of his work is rooted in the philosophy of Chinese painting, which often combines words and images. As he explains, "There are things that words describe that pictures never can, and, likewise, there are images that words can never describe."
