‘Traditional papercuts are perfectly suited to the kite images . . . With its folkloric tone, this stands on its own as a story about creativity.’—Kirkus Reviews
The Kang brothers imagine making wings to fly and drive the birds from their rice fields! With paper, straw, and feathers, what else can they create?
This series, recounting how the creative Kang brothers discovered four of China’s famed inventions, is redesigned to feature new bilingual simplified Chinese translations.
