Description

2016 South Asia Book Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature, Highly Commended Book Title

In this empowering picture book about arts, activism, and the environment, Kinga and his classmates create a dance to honor the cranes of Bhutan and raise awareness of their plight.

Every year, Kinga and his classmates wait for the black-necked cranes to return to the kingdom of Bhutan. The birds fly south over the highest mountains in the world to winter in the valley where Kinga lives, deep in the Himalayas. The cranes have been visiting the valley since ancient times, but every year, fewer cranes return. Kinga is concerned. What can I do? he wonders. He and his classmates approach the monks for permission to create and perform a dance to honor the cranes and to remind the Bhutanese people of their duty to care for them. The monks caution them to first watch the cranes to see how they move and learn from them. The children watch and practice. And practice some more until the big day when they perform before the king of Bhutan.
