I remember being enchanted by this chinese folktale when I was younger largely because of the beautiful illustrations and the end where the weaver girl ,the servant of the East wind weaves herself into the tapestry.

This is a beautiful picture book telling a traditional Chinese folktale. I love everything about it: the story, the illustrations, and the fact that it still keeps the edge that all folktales started with before they were made "safer" for kids. ( )

Beautiful, vibrant illustrations.

The story is a retelling of a Chinese folktale, "The Chuang Brocade." ( )

I read this with my 11-year-old son and both of us really enjoyed it. The art is beautiful and the story was very whimsical, with an unrestrained creativity that was inspiring to say the least.

Highly recommended for young readers. It's fantastical without being cutesy or speaking down. ( )
