Hazel and Twig: The Birthday Fortune

40 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-8970-4 $15.99
(2) K-3 Two young mouse sisters celebrate the Korean tradition of doljabi, where on a child's first birthday she is presented with a choice among symbolic objects that will determine her future. By translating the doljabi tradition to mouseworld, Yu adds an extra measure of humor and the allure of the miniature. The meanings of Korean words are clear from context and from the delicate and lively ink and watercolor illustrations. Glos.
