Good Fortune in a Wrapping Cloth

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jessica Lanan. Bojangi (specially crafted wrapping cloths) are an ancient Korean folk-art form. In this story, young Ji-su strives to sew well enough to join her mother as a seamstress at the emperor's court. Schoettler illuminates the originality and craftsmanship involved in creating bojangi, but her telling is ponderous; more compelling are the beautiful cloths in Lanan's warm illustrations.
