The Three Sisters, written by Paul Yee and illustrated by Shaoli Wang, has received an insightful review from the BC Review of Books.

Facing a tyrannical emperor bent on war, three sisters in China, sublimely gifted in music, fend for themselves and their parents with the power and magic they create with their instruments. Can the beauty of their music change the emperor’s heart and bring peace?

Allison Acheson, for the BC Review of Books, remarks that “In the end, there’s a lovely warming sense of family, with the father delighted over his daughters’ success, and his own yearning to be home—a positive landing place. Yee dedicates the story “To a world without war.” Here’s to a book that holds that hope!”
