Reissue (1959, Harcourt)
(2) K-3 In Nu Dang, a boy loves flying his kite "more than anything else." One windy day the kite breaks free. Paper-Flower is about a girl who tries to grow a "paper-flower tree" from a bead given to her by a traveling performer. Ayer relates both tales with a storyteller's cadence; her vivid illustrations show a range of daily activities, people, and places in mid-twentieth-century Thailand.
