Yoon and the Jade Bracelet
It is Yoon's birthday and all she wants is a jump rope so she can play with the other girls in the school yard. Instead, Yoon's mother gives her a Korean storybook about a silly girl who is tricked by a tiger. Yoon also receives a jade bracelet that once belonged to her grandmother. The next day at school, a girl offers to teach Yoon how to jump rope, but for a price: she wants to borrow the jade bracelet. When Yoon tries to get her bracelet back, the girl swears it belongs to her. Yoon must use the lessons learned in her storybook and her "Shining Wisdom" to retrieve the precious keepsake. In this third book featuring Yoon, lush impressionistic dreamscapes evoke a simple and timeless message: it is possible to trick a tiger. Yoon and the Jade Bracelet is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

A story with a good lesson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a nicely illustrated story with a good message and my 2.5 year old twins request it from time to time. Yoon receives a Korean story book about a girl who is tricked by a tiger for her birthday, when all she really wants is a jumprope. Her mom also hands down her precious jade bracelet to Yoon. Yoon is tricked at school by a tiger girl, but in the end she outwits her. I like that the story talks about an immigrant girl who is adjusting to life in a new country where she is hoping to meet new friends.
