Praise
“Kung’s digital artwork is reminiscent of Chinese watercolor paintings, though with a modern sensibility and cinematic eye. The colorful, expressively detailed depictions of the princess’ attempts to conform to expectations are a hoot, and her joy in being her best self in her tower is palpable.” —Kirkus Review
“Kung’s digital illustrations, which seamlessly merge traditional Chinese styles of art and architecture with dynamic Pixar design sensibilities, are well-suited for Pu Zel’s sumptuous tables and bold personality. Brimming with a love for both food and spunky girls who love food, this warm,inviting read will easily sate readers’ appetites; tofu recipes are included in the back matter for aspiring chefs.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Affectionately told and vibrantly illustrated, this empowering “Rapunzel” retelling, set in long ago China, features a determined princess in charge of her own fate. Kung’s richly hued scenes shimmer with golden-hour light and communicate the protagonist’s spunk through facial expressions and gestures that, combined with Compestine’s well-paced story, makes for a tale that dishes up delight.” —Publishers Weekly
“Kung’s vibrant depictions create a cozy background for this retelling of how stinky tofu became one ofthe most famous dishes across Asia. Kung’s dynamic illustrations take a comic approach, with close-ups o fRa Pu Zel munching and cinematic scenes of the setting that will engage readers already familiar with graphic novels. This creative retelling of “Rapunzel,” that combines feminism, fairy tales, and food, will be enjoyed by all.” —School Library Journal
