Customer Reviews

Highly recommended, especially for children's library collections.

Watercolorist Elizabeth Quan presents Once Upon A Full Moon, a picturebook set in the 1920's and following the family of Chinese-American Lee King, who has found success in the New World but longs for his home in China. Together, he and the family take a trip to introduce their children to the grandmother for the very first time. Based on a true story, Once Upon A Full Moon is a picturebook featuring sketchy, colorful, down-to-earth art and text involved enough to be suitable for young readers who are just about ready to move on to chapter books. Highly recommended, especially for children's library collections.
