Review Quotes:
STARRED REVIEW! "Good old-fashioned storytelling distinguishes Tucker's thoroughly engaging tale of courage, individual talent, and teamwork...Lin, of Dim Sun for Everyone! expertly captures the drama and humor of the story with delightful paintings that reveal lovely Chinese landscapes and a quirky, not-too-scary dragon. A wonderful readaloud."--Booklist starred review
