(2) K-3 An American girl dreams of living in Japan, a goal she achieves as an adult when she takes a teaching job there. Tokyo's too crowded; a remote island proves just the setting she's looking for. While this tale of a dream attained has dubious child appeal, Say's storytelling and illustrations of rural Japan are as absorbing as ever.
