Good Fortune in a Wrapping Cloth di Joan Schoettler
Very long story, easily could lose interest fast and wasn't able to track with the story that well. A teacher would have to take reading breaks if sharing this story with their class and students would have a a hard time zoning in on the book.
This was a beautiful and poetic book about a girl's mother being chosen to be a seamstress for the royal household. Throughout the book, the main character works to be chosen as well so that she may see her mother again. This book is good for any age, but if you are reading as a class you should provide some background knowledge for some of the terms and traditions discussed. With that in mind, it does have a good amount of words and is probably best for 2nd and above. This is great for representation.… (altro)
Ji-su is determined to master the art of sewing bojangi, or Kore - an wrapping cloths, so that she can join her mother as a royal seamstress.
This book has beautiful illustrations and I think it represented the Korean culture well. The book can be difficult for some readers as it incorporates Korean words in the text but can be read at the intermediate level. This book is about a young ji-su girl who lost her mother because she was drafted to live in a palace with other women to work for the kingsman sewing cloths. Because of that, the daughter tries to earn her spot at the palace and find her way back with her mother.
