Wounded Wing

Renowned author Richard Rashke's new book, Wounded Wing, is a magical love story for children from nine to ninety-nine. It's about betrayal and forgiveness, greed and justice, healing and hope, courage and delight. Set in the ancient kingdom of Japan, this retelling of a folktale is brought to life by Julie Psenicka's elegant paintings inspired by the traditional Japanese ink-wash style. In this enduring tale of love and loss, an injured crane named Tsuu falls in love with the poor farmer who nurses her back to health. She takes human form and marries him, protecting him from the unreasonable demands of his greedy landlords by weaving an exquisite cloth for the empress. She asks only that her husband never look upon her at the loom. When he breaks his sacred promise and learns her secret, a heartbroken Tsuu must navigate the complexities of betrayal and forgiveness. Rashke's Wounded Wing is a healing tonic for a world filled with war, violence, hatred, and intolerance.
