This is great! A wonderful Chinese folktale by Jane Yolen. I love that little Djeow Seow doesn't let herself feel small and insignificant even though that's how her family treats her.
Ed Young's illustrations show the work of a true artist. They are simple yet intricate at the same time. They fit the story perfectly and showcase the setting of ancient China - yet they mostly only show the characters set on a white background. How does he do it? I would love to know more about his process. This won a Caldecott Honor in 1968.

I was so happy. I found this totally by accident in the bargain bin at Office Max and my daughter immediately wanted to try and copy one of the illustrations with her paint. They are so beautiful.
