Saving Sorya – Chang and the Sun Bear

A beautiful, moving and uplifting tale of perseverance and overcoming challenge, and how small steps can make a big difference.BookTrust

What an accomplishment. I cannot praise this book enough. Jeet Zdung's illustrations are incredible. Get this book.Mathew Tobin, Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University and Blogger

Zdung’s use of watercolors in his frankly gorgeous illustrations enhances the rainforest setting, and the portrayals of its animal inhabitants are the epitome of wild and free. While the natural images tend to be realistic, the human characters are drawn in a manga-influenced style with elements like oversized eyes, large sweat drops, and speed lines. This blending of styles and varied panel layouts creates dynamic spreads and stunning page turns.Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Nguyen’s heartfelt tale is perfect for animal-loving fans of Katherine Applegate’s The One and Only Ivan and Rosanne Parry’s A Wolf Called Wander... Stirring and gorgeously rendered, this eco-conscious tale is a superb purchase for all libraries.School Library Journal, starred review
