Yanling Gong was born in Nanjing in 1973. She likes reading, illustrating and fairytales. Since she edited and illustrated her own fairytale work, the Baby Cow series, she became a full-time illustrator.
★ Pure fantasy in the best sense. –Kirkus Starred Review
The joy of Gong’s vibrantly colorful illustrations provide layers of dreamlike elements to pore over. Zhu’s message may be that love conquers distance or the post office endures, but it doesn’t matter; children will love Dandan’s fantastical journey.
