The art in this book is impeccably crafted, full of different textiles, angles, and color. A child could spend a long time soaking up the beauty of it. Added to the intriguing art is a simple story by Pakistani born Khan of kite fighting, a fun sport where kite flyers try to snip down kites around them until they are the last one flying. Malik, our celebrated kite fighter, has pride in his small, fast kite which goes on to take down the next-door bully's kites. Overall, this is a wonderfully depicted look into a celebrated Pakistani sport. Includes endnote on Basant, the annual kite festival.
