Rather than using swords or strength, Mi Ku relies on cleverness and the tools of his trade to complete three daunting tasks. It is a beautiful exploration of how creativity serves as a form of bravery. Parents will appreciate the story for its calm pacing and its message that the mind is often sharper than the sword.
