I was lucky enough to grow up with this Japanese tale. Suyeoka's art is just stunning.

Yo descubrí la existencia de este cuento gracias a un capítulo de la serie de "siesta", y la verdad es que el relato es incluso más tierno, me gustó más de lo que me esperaba

I really enjoyed this story. It had great vibrant pictures. I also liked that at the end of the book there was "An introduction to things Japanese" which included both a picture and an explination. This is a nice tool for children to use in order to become more familiar with Japanese culture.
