(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Lesley Liu. Young Chang, who can make sounds but cannot form words, lives on a houseboat on a river, where his father uses trained cormorants to fish. Chang learns about friendship and trust when he is given the chance to raise a cormorant chick. Both text and illustrations in this chapter book provide clear pictures of the characters and the setting in southern China.
