In this exciting interpretation of the legend of how papermaking spread throughout the world, a Chinese grandfather and his grandson are captured by the great sultan of Samarkand. They bargain for their freedom by agreeing to teach the Arabs the art of making paper. "A historical note helps young readers make the leap between folklore and fact. . . . Lyrical watercolor paintings perfectly complement the spare, engaging text." -- Kirkus Reviews

A Chinese man and his grandson are captured by an Arab army and taken to the sultan, who spare their lives when they demonstrate to him how they can make "clouds," i.e., paper. This is based on a true incident, though not with a man and grandson. During the process of making the paper, I really couldn't figure out what they were trying to make, until the very end. It would have been nice if the book had included some simple step-by-step instructions for making paper the way they did.
A tad disappointing, but not bad.
