Starry River of the Sky by Grace Lin

4.0

When Rendi comes to the Village of Clear Sky many things are wrong. There is a terrible drought, it seems everyone is bickering and the moon has disappeared from the sky. The mysterious Madame Chang entertained them with her stories and Rendi couldn't figure out if old Mr. Shan was crazy or wise. Little by little Rendi began to figure out the mysteries of this village and the mysteries and secrets he kept hidden as well.
This book is delightfully filled with re-telling of Chinese folklore, beautiful illustrations artfully woven within the tale of Rendi and the Village of Clear Sky.
It has a lot to offer in the way of a diverse, multicultural book with a story and lessons that transcend through all cultures.
