I had mixed feelings about this book after reading it. I liked the book because the style of the illustrations fits the written text. Having the illustrations in watercolor reminds me of history and ancient stories being told. Also, the plot was well organized. The Grandfather and Young Wu started out as free roamers, but were captured by the Arabs and had to show the Great Sultan their cloud making skills over seven days. In the end, they impressed the Great Sultan, taught the people, and were freed. But I didn’t like the writing. It wasn’t engaging me. I was very bored through the whole book. The message of the story is to believe in your talents and show people. ( )
