Three sisters must outsmart a hungry tiger in this fresh retelling of a beloved Korean folktale.
When Eomma goes to market she has only one rule for her three daughters, don't open the door until her return. There are creatures that roam the nearby mountains. But as the hours pass, the sisters grow anxious. Surely, Eomma will be home soon. And when there's a knock at the door, the girls jump to let Eomma in. Except, it is not their mother at the door. Debut Nancy So Miller updates this centuries-old story with her gorgeous cutpaper art, for which she carefully constructed and photographed each scene. From the fiery orange of the tiger to the soothing shades of a lilac sky, this is a visually lush retelling. Perfect for fans of the original as well as fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood. Back matter includes a bibliography and more information about the original story and Korean history and culture.Author Biography
