(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Ruth. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Tai Shan's father is sent to a labor camp outside the village, but they stay connected by flying kites on their far-apart hillsides. The vivid kites, appearing in red and blue in the muted-tone art, resonate as symbols of freedom and connection between the father and son. An author's note details Jiang's real-life inspiration for the powerful story.
