I enjoyed this book for the illustrations, story, and cultural connection. The illustrations are very identifiable with the author in the way the people and landscape are drawn. The story is one of looking for something new and better and finding the inspiration in ones self. It is heartwarming to have a story to connect to on a cultural level. The main ideas of this story is to work hard and be innovative. ( )
