The Best Winds

32 pp. | Boyds | February, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-59078-274-7 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eujin Kim Neilan. Jinho wants to play video games and go skateboarding. He laughs at his grandfather's traditional Korean ways, including building a kite instead of just buying one. However, their mutual respect and love grow slowly but naturally as they work together on the project. Swirling circles in the acrylic paintings effectively echo the "best winds" that ultimately carry the kite aloft.
