All the Way to Lhasa: A Tale from Tibet

32 pp. | Philomel | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23387-3 $$15.99
(4) K-3 In this symbolic story about keeping faith in one's highest hope, a young boy leading a yak encounters an old woman who prophesies that he'll attain the holy city of Lhasa by nightfall, unlike a previous horseman. Despite numerous natural obstacles, the boy perseveres and succeeds. The delicate, soft-edged art is attractive, but the story's symbolism, though universal, may be lost on young readers.
