Tibet Through the Red Box (Caldecott Honor Book)

"The fabulist elements seem symbolic of a Tibet that is about to be altered forever by entirely nonfabulist Communist Chinese. But Sis' more intense concern is the role that the red box always played for him: a source of wonderment and puzzlement of a lifelong curiosity about Tibet and the father who got lost there and, perhaps, out of fear and hardship, allowed his imagination free rein. So did Sis the younger, and we are beneficiaries of that, even as he whets but does not satisfy our curiosity."Peter Sís is the author of 'Tibet Through the Red Box (Caldecott Honor Book)', published 1998 under ISBN 9780374375522 and ISBN 0374375526.
