The Paper Kingdom by Helena Ku Rhee

4.0

Really enjoyed this book about a boy who goes to work with his parents who are night-janitors at an office building. To keep their son amused, the parents tell stories about the day-time inhabitants of the office: A grumpy king and queen, and a hoard of beleaguered, hungry dragons. Author Helena Ku Rhee has an author note at the end explaining how the story was based on her own experience of accompanying her parents (also night-janitors) at an office building. This story was sweet, funny, humanizing, and touched lightly on important social issues. Highly recommend!
