A classic, heartwarming tale set to the backdrop of the Chinese
cultural revolution, with the timeless feels of Eva Ibbotson's
Journey to the River Sea. A beautifully written, timeless tale by
bestselling Chinese author Cao Wenxuan, winner of the Hans
Christian Andersen Award. When Sunflower, a young city girl, moves
to the countryside, she grows to love the reed marsh lands - the
endlessly flowing river, the friendly buffalo with their strong
backs and shiny round heads, the sky that stretches on and on in
its vastness. However, the days are long, and the little girl is
lonely. Then she meets Bronze, who, unable to speak, is ostracized
by the other village boys. Soon the pair are inseparable, and when
Bronze's family agree to take Sunflower in, it seems that fate has
brought him the sister he has always longed for. But life in
Damaidi is hard, and Bronze's family can barely afford to feed
themselves. Will the city girl be able to stay in this place where
she has finally found happiness?

This is a beautiful story, well written. I loved it just as much as my 11, 9 and 6-year old did. A must-read!
