Little Oriole
© 2012 Kaifeng Kama Children's Bookstore & Digital Publishing
Visually beautiful but limited in interactivity with a few quirky design issues, Little Oriole features excellent woodcut art and soothing background music that can be toggled on or off. The 38 screen story is built around the questions “Who are you?” and “Where are you from?” and it features the journey of a little bird. The art is based on the artistic style called Watermark Woodcut, and scenes are inspired from a plum forest and the canyons of the Eastern Taiwan. The story and art is by Zhou Jianxin from Taipei National University of Arts. Features include the ability to view the book in Chinese or English.
