The Emperor and the Kite, written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by Ed Young, is a 1967 picture book. The Emperor and the Kite was a Caldecott Medal Honor Book for 1968 and was Young's first Caldecott Honor Medal of a total of three during his career. Young won the Caldecott Medal in 1968 for The Emperor and the Kite, which he illustrated. The story revolves around Princess Djeow Seow and her kite. She’s ignored by her family until the day that her father, the emperor is captured in a high tower. The book follows the princess attempt and eventual rescue of the emperor, and the shift of perspective that the people--including her family--originally had about the princess. In an issue of New York Times published in May 7, 1967, Margaret O'Connell gave the book a positive review writing, “Ed Young’s pictures sweep and soar as high as the kite a little chinese girl flies in Jane Yolen’s lyrically written tale.”
