Enchantingly color illustrated using the roots of early Chinese art traditions, infused with authentic cultural scenes, clothing, and ideograms by Caldecott Medal Award winning artist, Uri Shulevitz. Wahl, the multi-award-winning prolific children's author of HUMPHREY'S BEAR, employs the method of a Chinese scroll unfolding, to make each portion, of the detailed and delightfully worded story of a boy and his magic moth kite, increase in astonishment.
