Riassunto

Traveling alone to the tea plantations above her tiny foothill village when her mother falls ill, Tashi attempts to earn money for a doctor's services until her clumsiness angers a cruel overseer, in a story inspired by the Chinese legend of tea-picking monkeys. Co-written by the Carnegie Medal-winning author of Tamar.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The poetic text is vividly descriptive. . . . The deftly spun, emotionally resonant fairy-tale story ... begs to be read aloud. No design detail is overlooked, from the gorgeous cover (and its glossy, raised, curling, monkey-shaped tea steam) forward.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

L'autore:

Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham live in Devon, England, in a house not too far from the sea. Elspeth writes on the ground floor, and Mal writes in the attic. Sometimes they meet in the middle to write books like this one. Elspeth Graham found the seed for the story while writing a book about tea. Mal Peet is the author of such YA novels as KEEPER, THE PENALTY, EXPOSURE, and the Carnegie Medal-winning TAMAR.

Juan Wijngaard has illustrated more than thirty books for children, including SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE: AN INTERACTICE POP-UP THEATRE and the Kate Greenaway Medal-winning SIR GAWAIN AND THE LOATHLY LADY. He lives in New Mexico.
