Dancing Cranes

You will find the cover of this book attractive. A girl dressed in white dances with a group of white cranes against a background of pale and dark blue colors. The picture conveys a sense of beauty and the harmony between human and animals.

"Nothing I can hear. My world is as silent as the sky," the girl muses. Being deaf-mute, she accidentally saves the life of a wild crane. She often dances with the cranes until one day she becomes a real dancer.

This is one of the most aesthetically painted Chinese illustrated books.
