"“Purchase for all picture bookshelves."" —School Library Journal “Captivating… a great choice for story sequencing and problem-resolution…would allow even pre-readers familiar with the story to follow along and re-tell it on their own."" —Children's Literature “Children can learn much from this carefully constructed parable... The Shade Tree shows us that we can greatly enrich our lives by reaching out-and sharing.” —Quill & Quire “Certain to resonate with young readers."" —Publishers Weekly “Delicate paintwork... Suzy Lee uses spare language and illustration to retell a traditional Korean folktale.” —The Wall Street Journal ""Small but evocative artistic details continually reward re-readers… All the cleverer for its minimal depictions, this tale has maximal resonance as societies embrace collaborative solidarity and community care."" —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books review ""(A) thought-provoking volume about sharing, community and the undoing of selfishness."" —STARRED Youth Service Book Review “The soothing cadence of the story paired with the simple but beautiful illustrations and amusing ending make for a calming and satisfying read, translated from Korean and reformatted for a North American audience. A gorgeous fable celebrating generosity and wit.” —Kirkus, STARRED review"
