The Perfect Orange: A Tale from Ethiopia is the second collaboration between American author Frank P. Araujo and Chinese illustrator Xiao Jun Li, after their Nekane, the Lamiña & the Bear: A Tale of the Basque Pyrenees, and it pairs an engaging story and lovely artwork. I appreciated the central theme of the tale here—that it is giver's intention that is paramount, rather than the gift itself—and I found the accompanying watercolor artwork beautiful.
