Beautiful artwork and charming stories. The third story in particular about the grandfather when he was a postman was excellent.

So much to adore here. The relationship between the grandpa and the little girl is sublime and the depiction of the neighborhood is warm and inviting. How often do you get to have a playdate with your grandfather as a child.

Beautiful, sun-drenched drawings illustrate four, sweet short stories about Yu’er and her retired postman uncle, and their relationships with their neighbours in their hutong.

Beautiful, sweet stories. Stunning watercolor art throughout! Short book I read in one sitting but one I will return to again and again. The art is so cute and detailed. I read this as an ebook from the library but would totally get this printed to reread and savor the beauty in person
