The Story of Paper

After the Kang brothers get in trouble at school, they devise a way to make paper, which will make things easier for both their teacher and themselves, in a tale that includes a historical note and a recipe for home-made paper.

Praise for The Story of Paper
"The three spirited and playful Kang brothers take young readers on four lighthearted journeys, getting into scrapes, finding ingenious ways to get themselves out of trouble... The elegantly colorful cut paper-style illustrations are perfect echoes to a Chinese folk art form."
— School Library Journal

"...this title offers a starting point to introduce paper's intriguing origins, and the brothers' reversal from troublemakers to heroes will appeal to many young people, as will Xuan's colorful, expertly crafted cut-paper illustrations."
