I read this book while visiting Portland recently and am purchasing it for my grandchildren. Their mother's family is still living in Japan and this book is a very nice way for me to participate in maintaining Japanese culture in their lives while they are in America. Finding English language books like Allen Say's is a real joy. The story is quiet, yet very powerful, and the illustrations are beautiful.
