Minli is a strong female character who sets out on a quest to find the old man on the moon who has the answers to improve her family's future. She uses the wisdom she has gained from the old stories her father has told her to save her family.
You can judge this book by its cover. Grace Lin's richly colorful and intricate cover art is reminiscent of ancient Chinese textiles. The elegant illustrations continue throughout this lovely book that is both a collection of folk and fairy tales and a magical fantasy. The story is every bit as rich and beautiful as the cover.
