Story Patrick Lacoursière Illustrations Josée Bisaillon Music Liu Fang
On a cold winter night, a young girl dreams of visiting her faraway grandfather in Kunming, a magical place in China known as the eternal city of spring. As gusts of snow blow outside her window, the gentle sound of her mother plucking the pipa in the family room wraps around her like a warm blanket. The intricately illustrated story is accompanied by 11 stirring instrumental performances by world-renowned pipa master Liu Fang. Notes on the origin of the pipa and each composition appear at the end of the book.

Liu Fang is regarded as one of the leading pipa players in the world. Born in Kunming (China) in 1974, she started learning the pipa at the age of 6 and soon began to perform in public as a child prodigy, including a performance for the Queen of England in 1985. She graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory in 1993 and has since appeared throughout the world in several prestigious venues. She performed at the World AIDS Day presented by the BBC World Service, UNESCO’s 60th Anniversary Concert in Paris and the WOMAD festival in the United Kingdom and Spain. She has released over a dozen recordings. Her album “Silk Sound” was awarded the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque Charles-Cros in France.
Patrick Lacoursière is a producer and journalist originally from Saskatchewan. He is the author of three stories that make up the award-winning collection “Dream Songs Night Songs,” published by The Secret Mountain.
