Illustrated by
Komako Sakai.
A girl and her brother return to a park to retrieve her jump rope and discover a group of foxes trying to use it but failing. The girl kindly offers to help and then lets the foxes keep the rope, fulfilling one fox's wish. In mostly grays, greens, and yellows, the art excels at capturing preschoolers' body language. Smiling, hopping foxes embody the story's gentle light-heartedness.
