Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A New York Times Best Illustrated Book
Hailed by Entertainment Weekly and the Wall Street Journal as a best book of the year, this gorgeous and imaginative storyâpart picture book, part graphic novelâis utterly transporting and original. USA Today declared it âa compelling and melancholy debut from an important new talent" as well as "an expansive and ageless book full of wonder, sadness, and wild bursts of imagination.â And like Shaun Tan's The Arrival and Raymond Briggs's The Snowman, it is quickly becoming a modern classic.
Â
A little girlâlost and aloneâfollows a mysterious stag deep into the woods, and, like Alice down the rabbit hole, she finds herself in a strange and wondrous world. But... home and family are very far away. How will she get back there?
Â
In this magnificently illustratedâand wordlessâmasterpiece, debut artist Guojing brilliantly captures the rich and deeply-felt emotional life of a child, filled with loneliness and longing as well as love and joy.
âA haunting, wordless, gorgeously drawn picture book.â âPeople
âTold wordlessly through soft, dreamy illustrations, Guojingâs tale evokes the loneliness of growing up under Chinaâs one-child policy.â âEntertainment Weekly
âA dreamy, wordless debut.â âThe New York Times
"Majestic.... Rare is the book containing great emotional depth that truly resonates across a span of ages: this is one such." âKirkus Reviews, Starred
"Reminiscent of Raymond Briggsâs classic, The Snowman (1978), this is quiet, moving, playful, and bittersweet all at once." âBooklist, Starred
