Angel in Beijing

32 pp. | Candlewick | July, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-9270-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 A young girl rescues and adopts a white kitten. The two enjoy Beijing by bicycle until Kitty chases a kite and is lost. After searching many famous sights, the girl learns that Kitty, now named Angel, has a new home with a lonely old woman. Although the first-person narration lacks lyricism, the gouache illustrations use bold brush strokes and saturated colors enticingly. Visual context helps explain Chinese terms in the text.
