Sweet book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My daughter loves this book; her kindergarten teacher read it just after New Years and she made me buy it. The pictures are delightful and the story heartwarming. I lived in Japan when I was a kid, and I love the pictures of street life in Japan!
I'm the author!

This story was adapted from a beautiful Japanese folk tale. Linda Finch, who did the lovely illustrations, was born in Osaka (her mother is half-Japanese); the detail she managed to bring to life in throughout the book are marvelous. The School Library Journal said, "The well-paced, carefully plotted text has a sprightly partner in its stylized, gently colored illustrations." Booklist calls it "a fine addition to holiday story hours."
