Publisher's summary

Young-sup and Kee-sup, two brothers living in Korea, can't wait for the New Year kite competition. But when the brothers decide to work together in the competition, disagreements arise. Young-sup is a better flyer, yet tradition demands that the first born, Kee-sup, must represent the family. How can they win?

Newbery Medal winner Linda Sue Park delves into the world of kite flying while exploring the difficulties children have finding their place in the family.

Delightful story for reading alone or aloud!

A wonderful story of brotherly and fatherly love. Set in 1400s Korea, it was a delightful introduction to Korean history. The language was simple enough for a 3-4th graders to read on their own, but it also adroitly introduced here in there a higher level words.

Narration excellently captured the joy of the story.
