Thumbs up for The Paper-Flower Tree and Nu Dang and His Kite by Jacqueline Ayer. Picture books.
I have a policy of not reviewing books by people I know, though in this case, I only know the author’s daughter, so I will let myself rave about these books. I have no idea if the mixed-media illustrations would appeal to today’s kids (the taste of today’s kids mystifies me; why on earth do they love Elephant and Piggie so?). But they do appeal to me, very much indeed. Two evocative and lovely books.
