About this title

About the Author:

Yoshiko Uchida, who lived in Berkeley, California, was the author of many children's books, as well as books for adults. She was the foremost Japanese-American woman writing about the Japanese-American experience. She said of these books: "I hope not only to reinforce the self-knowledge of young Asians, but to give all young people a sense of continuity with history and kinship with the past."

Review:

These tales are pervaded by a recognition of the decency and dignity of simple, average people, and by a sound moral contrast between generosity and greed, wisdom and folly. -- New York Herald Tribune

Those searching for a sense of equanimity and direction will value Yoshiko Uchida's simple, graceful parables about human nature. Herald Tribune Honor
