Tanuki's Gift: A Japanese Tale
Marshall Cavendish, 2003
A quiet story with watercolor collages lifts us into another world of modest, but nevertheless fully satisfying surroundings. The friendship between a Buddhist priest and a tanuki, or raccoon-dog, blossoms in the bareness of winter. Roth's exuberant images capture a full-body joy that we readers also share. Tim Myers' retelling reminds us of what is really important in life.
Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers, one and all.
