Chirri & Chirra: In the Tall Grass

(2) PS Translated by Yuki Kaneko. In their second book, the two rosy-cheeked, dot-eyed girls head off on their bikes. As they ride into a meadow, they shrink until the clover arches over them like trees and bumblebees are the size of their heads. As the benign, welcoming creatures they meet invite the girls inside their homes, so Doi's gentle, grainy illustrations invite readers into this sweet miniature world.
