"We Phoenix are not born to be some Warlord's plaything. We must be free to soar the heavens."
Uncle Tiki Pu is in terrible trouble with the War Lord, and Tashi must rely on the help of a phoenix - a beautiful creature with eyes of crystal and tail feathers of gold — to save him and his family. Then Princess Sarashina's sister is told she must marry a man who is sneaky and cruel instead of the good, kind Cha Ming who loves her best of all. How will Tashi persuade the powerful emperor to change his mind? It takes more than courage to deal with warlords and emperors, but Tashi always has a clever idea and something useful in his pocket.

Tashi's bold! Tashi's brave! Tashi's the best!
Jack has an extraordinary imaginary friend Tashi, a gnome-like character from a place very far away. He arrived here on a swan (it doesn't matter what colour!), he has quite a way with witches and warlords, and he's not afraid of giants or robber barons. Although he's small and not very old, he comes up with some cunning plans in tight situations! And he tells the very best stories.
Addressing themes of courage, curiosity, adventure, daring, and good triumphing over bad, the Tashi series will keep young readers - and young listeners - enthralled with engaging tales and charming illustrations.
