Chang and the Bamboo Flute

60 pp. | Farrar | October, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-374-31238-9 $$15.00
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Lesley Liu. Chang, the mute fisherman's son introduced in Bird Boy, expresses himself by communing with cormorants and playing his flute. When a flood nearly destroys his family's houseboat, Chang's flute-playing helps them recover. Accessible to early readers, this story of village life on China's Li River is accompanied by tender illustrations of a loving modern family following ancient ways.
Reviewer: Margaret A. Chang
