Editorial Reviews

The Three Sisters conveys a number of positive messages for readers about the value of peace, strength of family, and importance in believing in oneself. Readers will admire the three sisters’ faith and resolve in escaping from the Emperor as well as the book’s final resolution in which the wars end and peace is reinstated...the story can also be enjoyed by older audiences who appreciate folktales and fairy tales.”
