Story is about the adventures of a little Chinese girl who is adopted by Finnish parents and brought to Finland. It's an excellent book in terms of its illustrations. I just can't remember the Finnish titles nor the illustrator/author. Help me remember if you can!

The Rudolf Koivu Prize, worth EUR 6,000, for the best illustrations in a book for children or young people, was won on Thursday by Salla Savolainen, age 42, for her illustrations in the book Pikku Xing ("Little Xing").
The panel of judges praised Savolainen for her "skilful illustrated story about how a small person and her foster-parents gradually learn to know each other". They also expressed admiration for the way that she draws faces. Special mention was given to the "colours used in the illustrations, which glow and shine".

What do you know about what a Chinese children’s home looks like? Have you ever been in China?
Unfortunately I haven’t", says Salla Savolainen, who on Thursday won the Rudolf Koivu Prize for her brilliant illustrations for the children’s book Pikku Xing ("Little Xing").
The main character of the book is a little girl, whom Mr. Zhu finds on a foggy morning in front of a food store in a Chinese city. She gets new parents in Finland.
"China, and adoption, were completely new to me."
