This book was about a young girl whose grandfather becomes ill. He is from a village in Tibet and tells her about a flower cure that took place in his village when someone became sick, so she tries to cure him with flowers as he becomes more and more ill. I liked the little girl's character because of her love and concern for her grandfather. Her mother tells her, "How sweet of you to try but you need lots of flowers." However, the little girl does not stop trying. I think that this story shows a character that children reading it can look up to.… (meer)

I am familiar with this author as I once reviewed her book Tashi and the Tibetan Flower Cure. She has done an excellent job with this book, once again bringing us to and teaching us about her love of Tibet.
This was a beautiful book. The reader is introduced to thirteen Tibetan animals and their habitats. I had no idea until I had read this book that there were so many habitats in Tibet. I had only heard of two of these animals before reading this book. The author has done a wonderful job of describing the food and preditors, camouflage and escape methods of the Snow Leopard, Tibetan Wolf, Wild Yak, Tibetan Black Bear, Kiang, Blue Sheep, Chiru, Tibetan Tahr, Musk Deer, Red Panda, Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Himalayan Marmot and Black-necked Crane. I enjoyed not only the facts about each animal but the glossary that will help readers unfamiliar with some of the words. I plan on checking out many of the resources listed at the back at the book to learn more about these animals I had never heard of before.
Although I received an e-version of this book from the author I plan on adding this to my home library for my grandkids to enjoy. There is so much to be learned from this book.… (meer)
