I Am Tama, Lucky Cat: A Japanese Legend

32 pp. | Peachtree | August, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56145-589-8 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Yoshiko Jaeggi. Tama herself narrates the story of how she first came to live with a poor Buddhist monk in Japan, then persuaded a wealthy samurai to take shelter from a storm in their crumbling temple by lifting her paw. Cat lovers will especially enjoy this story's delicate watercolor illustrations showing dainty Tama in the temple and outside surrounded by luscious cherry blossoms.
