En camino a comprar huevos
"In the age of malls and Wal-Marts, a Taiwanese girl's blithesome errand feels like a joyful celebration of childhood. Young Shau-yu relishes in the simple pleasures of her walk...After a series of these small, gem-like moments, Shau-yu returns with the eggs her smiling father has requested, telling him, "Hello! I've had such a busy day." Chen's streamlined, blocky style keeps the focus on the human interactions and emotions, rather than the setting. With gentle humor, this timeless tale demonstrates how children largely live in - and appreciate - the moment." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"This universal tribute to the power of a child's imagination will strike a familiar chord with dreamers everywhere." - School Library Journal
"This is a country of immigrants, yet most of the best-known fairy tales hail from midieval Europe. That may change with the help of newly translated books from Asia. Among the best to hit bookstores this fall is On My Way to Buy Eggs...The striking illustrations that combine collage and line drawings are reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats." - Newsweek
"...a treasure of a picture book..." - The Washington Post
