Why a Booktrail?
A classic folk story from Thailand
What you need to know before your trail
Like most young girls, Aree likes fine clothing and jewelry. But she is somewhat spoiled and has more fine dresses than she could ever hope for. One day there is to be a dance in the next village, Aree can’t make up her mind what to wear. Racked by indecision, Aree decides to wear her full wardrobe, until she learns that excess can be a burden, and that impressing friends is not the same as keeping them.

Yvonne Davis’s illustrations have been done in gouache, watercolor, and coloured pencil and in this way they capture the palette of fabrics and silks for which the Pu-Thai people are so famous today. The Pu-Thai people referenced in the story live in several areas in northeastern Thailand – Chiang Mai and its surrounds in particular.
