Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story from China
Picture book · ages 6–9 · 620L · 1988
A genuinely suspenseful, beautifully illustrated reimagining of Red Riding Hood where the children outwit the wolf through observation and teamwork—scary enough to feel real, clever enough to empower rather than traumatize.
Seven Blind Mice
Picture book · ages 4–8
A picture-book masterpiece that teaches perspective-taking without sermonizing — the stunning cut-paper illustrations make each mouse's misinterpretation genuinely funny and believable.
The House Baba Built: An Artist's Childhood in China
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 620L · 2011
A lyrical, elegantly illustrated memoir for young readers that treats childhood displacement and cultural identity with literary depth without condescension—the collage-style art is as much the story as the words.
The Emperor and the Kite
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 620L
Ed Young's cut-paper art and this tale of an overlooked girl rescuing her father through patience and a kite is one of the most beautiful picture books ever made — dense, quiet, and unexpectedly moving.
