| Description: | Select Guide Rating A philosophical picture book from one of China''s most celebrated children''s authors and 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award-winner Cao Wenxuan. Cao Wenxuan''s Feather tells the story of a single feather that is helplessly swept away on a journey of self discovery and belonging. Encountering a variety of birds, from a kingfisher to a magpie, the feather is hopeful of meeting the bird it belongs to. Again and again, the feather is ignored. Only when it calmly accepts that perhaps it is simply a feather with no bird to call its own does fate offer a reunion... Feather''s appeal to young children is derived from a plot that is at once compelling, meditative, and full of adventure, aided by the dynamic, colourful illustrations of Roger Mello. |
