该书以儿童的视角，讲述了位于黄河源头的巴颜喀拉草原，由于大气变暖和牲畜采食过度面临退化，藏民们为了生存，不得不放弃草原走向城市，最后因为对故土的眷恋、对信仰的坚持，重新返回草原，改造家园生态的故事。作品再现了藏地少年诗意盎然的童年岁月与心灵世界。气势恢宏，地域韵味浓烈，在展现藏族地区风土人情的同时，也流露出“落后”的牧民生活和“先进”的都市生活的矛盾与冲突、融合与调适，昂扬着蓬勃的民族精神和时代气韵。作品体现了人与自然的和谐统一、人与动物的和睦相处，表现藏族孩子对美好自然的向往、对父辈善良美德的继承、对信仰的坚守等，洋溢着藏族地区的原始血性、魔幻色质和史诗般的奇妙想象。该作品已被译为英语、阿拉伯语、马其顿语。

Taking on the perspective of a child, this book narrates how, at the Bayan Har Mountains situated at the source of the Yellow River, due to atmospheric warming and the overfeeding of livestock bringing about the degradation of the region, people of Tibetan ethnic origins are forced to abandon their prairies and journey to the city in order to survive, and how their longing for their ancestral lands and their persistent faith finally brings them back to the grassland. This book reproduces the poetic childhood and spiritual world of Tibetan youth. Its prose is solemn and elegant with strong regional flavors. As it reveals local customs and practices of Tibetan regions, it also unintentionally shows the contradictions and conflicts, the fusions and accommodations between a “backward” nomad lifestyle and a “modern” city life, raising a vibrant national spirit and an artistic conception that fits our times. This book also reflects on the harmony and unity of man and nature, man and animal, embodying Tibetan children’s aspiration for beautiful nature, their kind and virtuous inheritance of their elder’s culture, their unswerving faith, etc., brimming with the primitive impulsiveness and magic colors of Tibetan regions that fill the author’s epic imagination. This book has been translated into English, Arabic and Marcedonian.
