Readers who will like this book: Anyone who has ever loved something so much, they wanted to become it; and those who enjoy stories from other cultures.
Rating/Response: 4 out of 4. Goble retells a wonderful legend, using beautiful, vibrant illustrations that contain true, meaningful symbols and patterns of the culture.
One question I would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever loved something (other than another person) so much that you wished you could become that thing?
