Genre: Children’s lit
Medium: Hardcover
Synopsis: China is so much more than its cities, or its food, or culture.
Review: This book easily gets 5 stars for the design. I mean, we all know that Ed Young is an incredible illustrator, but the design truly is impeccable. Not only is this a visual poem, but each flap–that’s right, flaps, not pages–reveals a new line as well as an illustration based on the line’s Chinese character translation of the most important word. It’s such a beautiful way to interweave languages together, and it truly succeeds in doing so.
