A note for parents
This is a beloved Caldecott Honor picture book that retells a Chinese folktale about a neglected princess who saves her father. The story celebrates courage, loyalty, and inner strength in a child who is underestimated by her family. While the setup involves the father's imprisonment, the narrative focuses on hope and resourcefulness rather than danger, making it appropriate for young readers.
