Takabayashi, Mari

Takabayashi (I Live in Tokyo) takes on Brooklyn in this pictorial tour led by six-year-old Michele. After describing her daily life at home and at school, she then provides a season-by-season description of her favorite activities. While the structure isn't as tight as in Tokyo, the colorful, detailed scenes provide a lot to pore over.

Seven-year-old narrator Mimiko takes readers on a month-by-month tour of contemporary Tokyo, briefly describing one or two festivals, customs, or facets of life each month. Colorful illustrations accompany the text, which remains consistently childlike throughout, focusing on the stuff of daily life--a kid's daily life. The book crams numerous details into a small space in a compact and attractive manner.
