Liu and the Bird: A Journey in Chinese Calligraphy (English and Mandarin Chinese Edition)
From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 4-A bird guides a small Chinese girl on a journey to visit her grandfather after he summons her in her dream. She passes through a traditional Chinese landscape-river, forest, field, mountain, and bamboo grove-to find the man waiting for her to join him in drawing. The story's conclusion is inspired by the traditional Chinese belief that pictures may come to life. The events of Liu's journey serve the purpose of introducing one or more Chinese characters. Striking, richly colored linocuts combined with torn paper and framed in black line incorporate, in a handsome page design, a series of three squares, each tracing the evolution of a character. The first square shows a picture; the second, an early pictograph; and the third, a modern character. The accomplished calligrapher uses standard rather than simplified characters.
