Soe-In is a tiny child in a village full of large people. She struggles with completing chores due to her size, but she never gives up.

Reviews

* "This gorgeous and moving debut from Cha is a worthwhile addition to any picture-book collection." -- Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
"Plucky Soe-In may be extra tiny, but her confidence and resourcefulness should earn her a large space on library shelves everywhere." -- School Library Journal
"Cha's debut picture book captures the bold ethos of an ancient Korean legend with sparkling energy, dramatic fires, and giant tigers....A bold and mythic female underdog tale." -- Kirkus Reviews
"This picture book will be a favorite as a read-aloud or during individual quiet time. Recommended." -- School Library Connection
"[Hanna Cha's] richly hued spreads swirl with inviting action, her tiger-themed panels especially burst forth in flaming swaths of gold, orange, brown and black strokes, as if the tiger's energy can hardly be contained on the printed page." -- Shelf Awareness
