Lotus & Feather

40 pp. | Disney/Hyperion | December, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-2754-3 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Downing. Lotus, a mute Chinese girl shunned by the other kids, finds companionship and purpose when she saves a magnificent, wounded crane. Feather dances when Lotus plays her reed whistle, which delights the other children, who become Lotus's friends. Downing's watercolor and pencil illustrations provide ample visual interest to balance the lengthy text; details recall Chinese landscape painting, enhancing the book's cultural specificity.
