Review Quotes: Miller's original retelling of the Korean folktale, "The Three Little Girls," captures exquisite elements of traditional Korean architecture and folk art through photographed handmade paper dioramas, adorned with moss and miniature wood-and-clay furniture.
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

This traditional story is elevated by unique illustrations. . . . Vividly realized, this story presents a fresh take on a traditional form and will be appreciated by young audiences. An excellent choice for storytime.
--Booklist

Miller's distinctive hand-crafted illustrations, using paper, wood, clay, wire, watercolor inks, and moss, add depth and appeal. . . . A lively yet respectful retelling, this is an excellent introduction to traditional Korean culture, with an empowering message for modern readers.
