Product Description
Review
'One of the many pleasures of this moving story...is its depiction of how a musical child experiences the world as a symphony of sounds. The warm wash of color and the textured detail in Helen Cann s illustrations reinforce the novel s pastiche of folk tale, parable and realism. Yue and Farrow... evoke how Little Leap Forward bears witness with the eye of a poet, the ear of a musician and the transformative imagination of a storyteller.' --The New York Times
'A simple, poetic and haunting tale about childhood in Beijing during the Cultural Revolution.' --Angels and Urchins
'Guo Yue and Clare Farrow's text is marked by its reflective lyricism. This is complemented beautifully by the sights of Beijing, captured so evocatively through Helen Cann's full-colour illustration plates that intersperse the novel.' --Achuka.co.uk

Product Description
The first in Barefoot Books' Young Fiction line, this sensitively written, real-life story focuses on growing up in Beijing in the 1960s, at the time of the Cultural Revolution. Little Leap Forward offers children an intimate and immediate account of a child's experiences as Mao Tse Tung's Great Leap Forward policy tightens its grip on China.
