Extended Information
A paper butterfly is lost and longing for home. A dragon offers her a ride home on his back — if she can solve the riddle “What was made in China 2000 years ago and is still used today?” To find the answer, she flits far and wide, to Beijing’s Forbidden City, to the Great Wall, and finally to the walled city of Xi’an. Just when she begins to despair, she meets another paper butterfly, who claims to have the riddle’s answer. Is it the right one? Lively collage illustrations introduce carp, pagodas, stone lions, and other elements of Chinese culture and family life.
Review
"A well paced yet energetic story beautifully told by way of attractive, busy illustrations and a complementary font... Highly recommended." - Inis

About the Author
Deborah Nash took her degree in French and Art. In 1988-89 she spent ten months in China on a British Council scholarship, studying art and traveling to many of the places in the book. She returned to China in 1992 and brought back an exhibition of papercuts and folk art which toured the UK before finding a permanent home at the Museum of East Asian Art in Bath. Working at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon, she moved from storytelling to writing children's plays and short stories, and has contributed to a number of art magazines.
