"Lilting verse and multipatterned illustrations follow one family's arduous, yet fascinating yearlong, 2,000-mile caravan trip over China's Silk Road...Cann's full-bleed watercolors capture the changing landscapes and architecture styles along the journey...The variety of fabric patterns, pots and baskets emphasize the mingling of numerous cultures in Kashgar, while details such as leaves that resemble peacock feathers add a touch of whimsy. Krebs's verse...brims with telling details." -- Publishers Weekly "Publishers Weekly"
